Live USB warning

Hi,

We've just found that recently published alpha release of Qubes Live
edition have major flaw. If you use it on a machine, where some
unencrypted swap partition is present, it will be used by Qubes Live.
This may lead to leaking user data to that not encrypted partition,
which will be there even after shutting down the system, and available
to possibly some other system(s) running later on the same hardware.

We will address this in the next pre-release, but currently as a workaround
(when you have such partition present) it can be disabled by "noswap"
boot option. To add it, at bootloader screen press TAB, then move cursor
to the kernel options, just before "--- initrd0.img", and there add
"noswap".
