Hi Jorge,
Thanks for replying(At Last). I was really hoping for you to answer because I think you are the most experirence poor man's install user. I am just disappointed that you have not tried the latest version. Here are my answers:
1. I don't think my cd is defective. It works as a live cd. The problem on a live cd is that it does not detect my hd partitions. In the text that are displayed at boot time there is supposed to be a line stating " hda1 hda2<hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8>" .On using knoppix 0726 I only get "hda1 hda2<> " which indicated that hda2 (the logical partition) has no partition at all.
I forgot to mention that when I tried to upgrade my kernel to 2.3.21 I also get this partition table problem. So I believe thi s is a kernel problem.

I have also tried the "upgrade script " (upgrade from 0606 to 726-see the home page this forum)and the resulting ISO also has this partition problem.

2. No I have not 'poor man's installed' Morphix since I cannot boot the latest version. Version b was installed to my home pc but have already removed it.

3. There are complaints in this forum about the latest install script showing only partition and quit as the choices. I think the reason is this partition not detected problem.
