For 2 days I am trying to help my friend to install knoppix on hdd. It is very important to her to have working computer now. I am guiding her by phone (she lives far away). During the installation process the window that says that installation requirements aren't fullfilled yet (despite of the fact that I have formatted drive before and created filesystems (mkswap, mkfs)). Next window gives 2 options - format hdd or quit. After making partitions again, this time with qtparted (ran via knoppix-installer). When she chooses to format disk, gui format program is run (probably qtparted ?). Disk seems to be partitioned, but even after removing all partitions and creating them again and saving partition table, installer says again that... installation requirements aren't fullfilled yet and forces to run qtparted again. disk is recognised as /dev/sda and computer is Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pro 2055.


I will be very grateful for any advices.
