[olug] Removing suseswap.img from a Windows partition after a Linux install

[Thomas D. Williamson]

This told me just what I needed after I found the correct console  
option in the terminal. It it only looking at the swap partition and  
not at the windows img file.

Thanks that allows me to free up that space to accommodate the bloat  
on the windows partition.
