It self-destructed when I tried to fix the miss-aligned partitions the you 
cannot bypass it partitioner created out of whole cloth.  That was the 2nd 
wheezy install that blew up.  Expert mode or not, there simply is no way 
to make it use the existing, correctly aligned disk.  If there is a way, 
please advise.

So I am back on Lucid LTS TFN.  But its running out of support time.

Thanks Darac.
