Comments/Problems:
Booting on the default 2.4 kernel led to a non-working keyboard; this
also happened with RedHat and other installers about a year
ago. Booting with the linux26 kernel worked like a charm.
Partitionning went a bit funny. The disk layout was :
hda1 9.2 GB Windows XP
>>> FREE SPACE 0.04 MB <<<
hda2 10 GB /
[that thing was generated by a previous Mandrake installation]
It seems this layout managed to confuse partman; it wouldn't list the
existing partitions (only the entire disk was available in the menu).
After deleting hda2 using cfdisk on another terminal, everything
worked fine.
JB.
