Thanks for the reply ghetto_blaster. I am still baffled at making an install. Is there really a detailed (read every step) to doing a harddrive install. I feel that I am missing something. I dont care about the harddrive or the data on it. I look at the tutorial for harddrive install for knoppix and it leaves out a lot of the options you must choose to get knoppix installed. If someone can point me to a clearer posting of how to do the harddrive install or just post it I would appreciate it. I have a 3 gig harddrive using 2.5 for ext3 and .5 for linux swap. After I boot do I have to do something to make the harddrive writeable? What about after I try writing the new partition table and it says I must reboot. If I reboot how will it save or change the harddrive when it is booting from the cd again? I am completely lost, please help.

Thanks,

Jera
