Successfully created a ignoreswadev ksoption.  It makes anaconda ignore 
the swap devices at install time and in the resulting fstab.   There is 
still an issue regarding the installation,  When I tested a system that 
only had 1 swap device the installer froze.  When I increased ram it 
continued installing (vmware, basically increased from 256 to 512).  
Question: does anaconda need a swap partition to complete installation 
?  I'll post the patch after some more tests :)
Regards.
