Hello all,
i'm trying to install Knoppix 5 on a Pentium 3 with 64MB ram. I removed all partitions from the harddrive. Knoppix needs to create a swapfile because the machine has less than 64MB ram. I am using Ultimate Boot Disk V3.4 to create the required DOS partition... but it seems to fail: Knoppix tries to detect a DOS partition to create a swap file, but it does not find the DOS partition. I think I created a DOS partition of the wrong kind? I tried FAT16, FAT32 and a whole bunch of other options available when using Ultimate Boot Disk. Whatever I try, Knoppix does not find a DOS partition to create the swap file.
it says: 'Sorry, no useable partitions available for swapfile.'
Any help here?

Its confusing: they're talking about Linxu Swap paritions but also on DOS (as long as it's not NTFS)... what does this mean? I tried Linux SWAP but that one also was not recognized by Knoppix
