I hate to ask this but I can't find it anywhere.

I am trying my first frugal install on a HP Pavilion. Everytime I try to run the script it tells me that there isn't a valid linux partition but I know for a fact that there is.

Any ideas?

Hrm. Never done a frugal, but I though it was supposed to be on to a fat32 partition.

But I'm not sure.

Not sure what the issue was but it wouldn't install in 0.9.0 but worked fine in 0.9.0.1.

Just glad I have it.

another bug fix i suspect

I had this issue with a frugal install to a cf-ide drive. The script looks for partition type 83 (i.e.linux). Using cfdisk to change the type cured the problem.
