Public bug reported:
I maintain a "system on an SDHC card" for banking and other secure
usage. The card gets 2 partitions, an unencrypted /boot and a LUKS-
encypted root. There's no swap since the card size is 16GB, and I need
as much storage as I can get. The card gets plugged into a 2GB netbook,
and I'm not heavily multitasking, so I never need to swap.
To install, I boot the alt-install CD on an existing Ubuntu desktop and
go through manual partitioning of the card (no LVM of course). The
installation doesn't complete because at the end, the installer
complains that swap isn't encrypted. That's true, BUT the swap it's
inspecting is on the host machine, and has no relevance to when I will
be booting from the SD card.
To get around this, I had to go to Windows-only machine to do the
install. Because there was no swap partition on its HD, everything went
fine. What I really need is a way to tell the installer to totally
ignore the host's swap partition when setting up the SDHC card.
