Re: install

[david <david@qednet.biz>]

There was a recent suggestion to use the new sarge net installer for 
debian installs, have a look in the last week or so for a thread 
relating to help with partitioning.

When you say linux sees the ata drive, what does the kernel report? If 
the kernel is registering it as say /dev/hda (master) then you should be 
able to run the shell and partition that device.
