Hi Gene,
As you've found, there's various ways to install. An earlier message gave slightly
the wrong impression - if I may, I'll correct myself before I carry on.
There's an automated install - asks very few questions, installs GNOME as the desktop -
pretty much requires a wired connection because there's no guarantee that wireless is
supported out of the box so wired is safer to try. Preseeded so that as much as possible
auto-configures without user input - so will default to DHCP, for example.
The expert install allows you to single step through the install yourself: the crucial
differnce is that it asks all the questions rather than skipping through some and allows
you more fine-grained control.
EITHER
Set a 2M partition at the beginning of the disk as an empty partition: start your first
partition after that.
OR
install parted udeb, make the partitions yourself and write them. Restart the install and
the partitions you have made will be there.
All the best,
AndyC
