Deleting partition on live CD

[lnx64]

This is frustrating, I just can't wipe out the HD on the Fedora 13 live CD.. When I open up Disk Utility, it says something about the resource being busy.. It seems that it's the swap partition, the live CD is using the swap partition, and I just can't wipe out the HD..

On Ubuntu live CD, I can go to GParted, and tell the swap partition "Swap Off", but I can't seem to do that here.. I tried to add Gparted while in the Live session, but the Authentication button does nothing at all..

Is there a terminal command to turn off the swap partition so I can format the HD completely?

(I'd also like to try and install without LVM, for my laptop it's just overkill and wastes HD space).

swapoff /dev/sdXY

...replacing the X and Y with your device and partition.

I prefer using the Parted Magic LiveCD for my own partitioning chores. It's quick and easy, and always gets the job done, plus lots of other good utilities are included on the disk.

Hope that Utility Disk works out for you if you decide to stick with it.
