Hi...thanks for helping, but i am even more confused. I tried to do this on my own but it didnt work. the 3rd partition i made for /home was there, but i could not mount it cause it said "could not mount, must specify file system" so i screwed up somewhere. I originally used that "godot" website installation but it gave me too many problems so now i will just stick to a regular install. ok first thing i am doing is cfdisk to resize my partitions like you suggested.....hang on....ok i made my primary linux [bootable] 7gig in size and my swap the same, at 1gig, and the 3rd partition is 2gig. Here is what my cfdisk screen looks like:

hda1 boot primary linux 6999.72
hda2 primary linux 1998.75
hda3 primary linux swap 1052.84

Are all 3 partitions supposed to be "primary"......this is where i get confused. OK then next i will write partition table & re boot.....

ok so now i should do "knx2hd" and when the installer comes on, choose choice 1, configure installation. then save & quit?????? But if i do that, and nothing is installed, how do i edit that /root/.knofig file? this is where i am totally confused......so i will stop here and wait for your reply.....thank you...bob
