Well ... I either have to figure out how to get the debian install to install over the knoppix install or fix the error.
I regret ever trying to install linux, but it was for class.
Why instructor ever allowed me to attempt this install is beyond me, but i think it was his first time teaching the class (only 3 of us in the class).
My project for the class is to get a simple webpage using open office database, but since i cannot get past the install and the project is due thursday I have given up unless the instructor can give me some help before then
Thanks for your advice
So my Question is why is KNOPPIX allowed to offer an installer that will NOT work?

-thanks
