I installed Debian Lenny on my PC (/dev/hda1) without any swap

Wow, hard work.
Now when I boot to my base system, I still see following messages from
the init scripts on my console:
Activating swap...Done
....................
.....................
Activating swapfile sawp...Done
Ignore it.
After doing a find it seems that these messages are spitted out by
scripts mountall.sh and checkroot.sh files in /etc/init.d/ directory.
Yes, and unmountall.sh
My question is what is the best way to disable these messages and the
associated function with those messages?
If the free command show zeros (0) on swap line ignore this VERBOSE
messages.
Should I just comment out the relevant swap portition in those two
init files?
Instead view this file /lib/init/vars.sh, you will understand that:
1) You can disable verbose output with "quiet" option in the kernel boot
line.
2) You can disable swap (although it exists) with "noswap" option in the
kernel boot line.
You can test this options editing boot line in GRUB menu on boot, type
"e" change the line and CTRL+X to boot.
