Summary	0002156: Ensure forensic mode works in kali-rolling
Description	The forensic mode should not touch/mount any local disk without an explicit action from the user, including not using detected swap partitions. The desktop should already be configured that way (ensure it still works). The kernel command line also has the new parameters "noswap noautomount". The former is supposed to not enable auto-detected swap partitions. The latter is only used by our own script in the graphical session (see kali-defaults).

rhertzog 2015-03-16 03:44 administrator ~0003165	The forensic mode still works. live-boot does not enable swap partitions so the noswap parameter is mostly useless (on the opposite you need to add a "swapon" parameter if you want live-boot to enable any swap partition it will find).
