It ignorred my attempt to use the check bypass command line swithes it mentions as well. For some reason it worked this morning on a computer I had installed knoppix 3.3 on this morning. . .trying it again with VMWare using a "computer" that had 3.3 installed as well. . .see if that makes the difference.

YEP! For some reason, it is going to let me install 3.4 on the "machine" that has 3.3 installed already (booted to the 3.4 CD in that VM).

Like I said earlier. . .I get a totally different menu and don't get the space failure warning. . .I get a menu with 6 options instead of just two (partition and exit).

Anyway, there is something not right with this. . .should be able to install on a "clean" no partition system of the same size.
