I just did a poor man's install, and now it recognizes the hard drive as a cd rom. If I click the hda1 icon on the desktop, it opens file:/cdrom, and it has all the files, but I can't write to it. Also, I've found I'm unable to run the Poor Man's Install without loading the 2.6 Kernel. And I'd like to know how to save the configuration (backgrounds, icons, etc.). Please post if you have the answer to 1 or more of these problems.
