i have a tibook running debian and OSX.
the readme file that comes with knoppix-MIB alpah says something like:

Dont use this live cd if you have a partition named swap.


im sure i have one for debian to run, so i want to be sure wheter is safe or not to run the live cd on this machine [tibook running debian and OSX]

As I understand it the MIB developers are simply warning you that if you use their cd it will use your swap file/partition if it exists and it will be encrypted. This is a security measure so that someone could not come along at a later time and read what was written to your swap.
