This one did bite me last night while installing from a partition running latest rev to a USB stick - it proceeded to copy the swap file to the USB stick :( Looks like the current implementation is somewhat as it seems to only look for a couple directories one level below the root of a given volume. FWIW, I also think it should maybe retain both the old and new paths in case someone wishes to use the newer installer to install from an older Haiku volume, but that's just me since I tend to maintain and copy multiple partitions with different revs of Haiku on them around. - Urias
