Hi Israel,

Tested no-swap again.

The first bug is still there: the 'No_swap' entry in the menu does 
nothing (cannot reset from a selected swap partition to no swap).

After installation I discovered:

1. This time the system discovered the other installed system and added 
entries for it in the grub menu. (Single case or repeatable now?)

2. The swap entry in /etc/fstab is commented away, like it should be - 
this was the important bug, and you squashed it :-) The dead 'No_swap' 
entry in the menu is a minor bug.

-o-

This looks promising. I intend to do some testing tomorrow too, but I 
think and hope there is no show-stopping bug right now. Please be very 
careful with changes in the code now.

Best regards
Nio
