when you set up partitions, did you use cfdisk or fdisk? Both of those partitioning utilities let you "toggle" partitions from which you can boot. If you have three partitions -- which you should if you're doing the frugal install -- you'll have a swap partition and two Linux partitions. You would toggle the one containing the OS (not the swap, not the one containing your persistent /home and /opt) so you can boot from that partition. |
I used zboot to set up the partitions.. I don't think I could figure out how to use cfdisk or even fdisk.. so I found zboot and used it. And I only got two partitions.. a native with about 1,000MB and a swap with about 400MB, I think. (Old, small hard drive..)

That's the live CD. Boot up using it, do the "fdisk -l" I mentioned previously, copy the output exactly, and paste it back here so we can see what you actually have. |
When or where do I enter the "fdisk -l" thing? When I boot the cd, it goes to the DSL thing.. then I can press F2 or F3 for more install options, or press enter and it begins on it's own. (This's where the original problem comes in, where I get stuck at the KNOPPIX thing..) So I'm not sure where I should enter the "fdisk -l" thing.
