           Summary: 12.1rc2 KDE Live CD image uses swap partition on HDD,

Attempting to install either from the live desktop, or launching the Installer
directly acted the same. It was using Swap partition from the old installed
system on the drive, blocking my ability to delete it in order to repartition.
Attempted to use swapoff did not work from graphical environments.

I was able to work around this issue by aborting the graphical installer which
dropped me into CLI where I logged in and went root. Then I executed swapoff
and ran YaST (ncurses) to check if it worked. I was then able to reorder my
partitions as I wished. I then installed with a new arrangement via the CLI
YaST.

The error I saw was something like, "Cannot edit partition, swap is being used
to store data important to the installation."

Probably an issue with the persistent isohybrid not using the flash swap it
creates on the thumbdrive, and instead seeing and using the HDD swap partition.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot Live CD on a USB
2.Run installer
3.No profit


Expected Results:  
Should have reliably installed the way it has ever done.
