    Stuck installing to HD

    Well im trying to install Knoppix 6.5, but i keep getting stuck at gparted. I have a partition formatted to ext2 and another for linux-swap, i gave the last one memoryx2.
    But when i try to continue the installation it says "No usable install-partition found"
    I also tried auto partitioning, but it still wont work.
    What can I do?

    PS: I already tried ext3 and ext4 also.

    The Knoppix installer needs a partition formatted with reiserfs.

    Reiserfs is one of many fs choices with GParted.
    If Menu>Preferences doesn't show GParted, get it with Synaptic.
    And good luck.

    Personally I don't see why reiserfs should be the only preferred file system and therefore I think '0wn' should be updated to also support other file systems. Again this will be left to those who have interest and patience to change the code ....
