Is there a cheat code that lets you boot without using a swap partition, I want to repartition the hardrive but I cant because the swap partition is in use, or atleast thats what I think.

I don't know of any such code. But it should be an easy fix. If you're talking about a Linux swap file on the hard drive, delete it when Linux is not running. Knoppix will not create one (but will use one if it exists). If you're talking about swap space on the FAT partition, Knoppix will ask to create this if it determines it needs swap space, but again you could delete it when Knoppix was not running and Knoppix would ask before it recreated it. If you have limited memory you may not be able to run the GUI without a swap file of some sort, but you likely can still run a shell.
