Comments/Problems:
We were taken to the partitioner. We set up the required partitions.
During this I made some bad primary/logical decisions, which meant
that part of the disk was unusable. I deleted some of my partitions
and started again. I wrote the changes to the disk. The install did
not then proceed to formatting.
I then tried again with a Beta 4 CD. This found the disk already
repartitioned. The new CD had done the work, but the overall script
did not get this information.
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
The new partitioner looks better that the one on Beta 4.
Thanks for all your work.
Dave
