    the readme file that comes with knoppix-MIB alpah says something like:

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

    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.
