Thanks for the expert advice John, but exactly how do you edit the install script with your recommended code?  Presumeably within a DSL terminal once it has 'live' booted up and before the hard disk install command .  For a complete linux newb it is not obvious.  I see in the forum plenty of other people have sucessfully completed hd installs on notebooks as old as mine.  It must be something to do with the Dos partition copied ISO boot method I have had to adopt.
