Hey All:
Just trying to get a little ahead of the Linux Learning curve, and I need a little assistance. I'm am trying to install Ver. 3.3 build 11-19-03. My desire is to set up a dual boot environment on the HDD (30 GB Seagate Ultra ATA Drive) I've sucessfully used Qt-parted to give myself some Free space to partition for ROOT (4+GB) and SWAP (700+MB). This is where I run into a problem. I've already set up these partitions (both ext3) and when I "Sudo Knoppix-Installer" the first thing that happens (I'm sure by design) is that QTParted opens to create partitions. From there I get nowhere :cry: ! It just stalls and the script doesn't continue. I'm sure it's simple, but being a knewb, I am missing something. The partitions are there already ! how do I get to the point that knoppix-installer asks where to install ? Also I have seen opinions posted re: dual booting and wanted to know if general opinion is that LILO will do a sufficient job from the MBR for Dual booting. I've made it this far and I really don't want to corrupt anything that will prohibit me from Dual Booting.
Thanks for your Valued Input !
