have had problems today as well. "Error: Formatting of failed. Some messages from mkfs.ext3: usage: mkfs.ext3[-ci -ti -l filename ......" ??????? wouldn't install.

each time i attempted to use cont alt F1 for install at least 5 times, kept getting error on install. when i would get to root this way. it was without X and the command line grey boxes, (knoppix installer v 0.3-14) installer wouldn't negotiate like it should. arrgggg.

when i used the desktop terminal window and su then typed knoppix-installer ... bam the gui installer came up with mouse selection and i am installing now at a fast rate.

8 hrs after my install crashed because of sticker gunk on the cd live media from my cd drive???

i am now installed!!!, quicker then i could type this note. D O N E ! ya hoo.(':P')
my machine is waiting. c ya.

hope this helps some one from spending all day like me.
