Hello
I've been researching Knoppix and have a question about the swap file.
Information seems to be sketchy and I can't quite figure out what the deal is with Knoppix and the swap. I sometimes use computers that don't belong to me. I don't want to leave a trace of any of my info in a swap file. As best as I can understand from reading, if a version of Linux is installed on the hard drive (of said computer) Knoppix will use the dedicated swap file space for scratch if it needs it. However it doesn't do this with other OS's like Mac OSX or Windows.
1. Is this correct?
2. If it is correct is there a way to disable it through CL or in a custom roll?
Thank you for your help
