(Get the code!)
I would overwrite the swap partition with zero (e.g. from `/dev/zero` which I would write on the future swap partition with `dd`). That seems to happen. The swap is created with `mkswap`, but the whole process involves a time consuming `dd` invocation during which the user has no idea what's going on. If there's no swap to be created that operation doesn't take place.
