Installation - installer will not umount new swap

Titel: installer will not umount new swap
Installed Kanotix 32 onto Celeron 300 w/192 mb RAM. and hda with two FAT32 partitions.
hda1 - W2000
hda2 - files

Deleted hda1 and created root, home and swap with qparted, but I realized that I set swap at .512 thinking GB was the unit being used. As it turns out however it was .512 mb. Upon installation received notice that swap was too small so I tried to delete in order to resize, but no matter what I did I could not unmount the partition. I tried to delete all other partitions and start from scratch - no luck. Tried other combinations.

Logged onto console as root - tried to umount - output indicates swap is NOT mounted! .

Had to use my Mandrake 10.2 install disk (which has never failed me) to delete and recreate these partitions. Installation went fine but am curious as to why I could not unmount that swap partition?

Any thoughts appreciated
Thanks

Well were you "IN" kanotix trying to delete it or were you using the live cd ???

Titel: unmount swap
This was during HD installation to hda1 using live cd and was able to mount and unmount root and home partitions that I had created, but not swap.

For example
Code:
swapoff /dev/hda2

Code:

reboot after reboot check fstab, if line for swap is there. if not do

Code:
