if im on a tibook running debian and osx [and have a partition named Swap for linux], is it safe to run the live knoppix cd???

thanks, i hope someone has already tryied this.
IF your partition named Swap is a swap partition, this is not a problem. it will be used to do swap. If it's a data partition, it will be erased to do swap: that is the problem.
There is a bug: if your swap partition is used by knoppix-mib-ppc-alpha-2e, it cannot be used after by your debian system. You just need to rerun mkswap on it to repair it.
