mkswap command bad in Chapter 2

Description

This is actually from SVN-20051217 which came on the pre2 livecd.

Section 2.3 states to use the "mkswap -v /dev/[yyy]" command, -v is not a good or valid mkswap flag. The options are v0 and v1, v0 produces an old format swap which is bad from what I got, and -v makes mkswap use v0.

Hope I'm not crazy, but it gave me a problem for a second when mkswap kept creating a 133000KB swap instead of 1.6 gigs, turned out -v was forcing v0 and that was the problem.

Hope I'm not nuts and this helps.
