How Do I setup cfdisk

[chain]

I trying to install knoppix 3.4, I have created a swap partition, linux partitions bootable, write YES, quit. Then when it goes to install it complains abot no swap drive or linux drive.

I would suggest rebooting so that the partition table is reread. Then you can make the swap partition active like so:

mkswap /dev/hda3
swapon /dev/hda3

Check your free memory like so:

free

Should show you some swap!

FYI It is not necessary to make any partition bootable. AFAIK this is a DOS boot loader necessity. Make sure the partition type is 83 for linux. It should work then. If not and you're SURE you have at least 3G partition for Knoppix you can launch the installer like so:

IGNORE_CHECK=1 knoppix-installer
