I've just started having interest in Linux when I used the Knoppix live distro. I liked the idea of running an OS on a CD without touching the HD so I seeked out other Live distros.

I found out about DSL and loved it

but it's not enough, I thought.

I want to get rid of Windows and install DSL onto my HD to make it my primary OS.

I tried following the instructions in the FAQ but I didn't get all the stuff about partitions

what exactly do i need to do to create a partition to install DSL?

thanks in advance

get utilities boot cd (thank God for bootable cd's)

Ultimate Boot CD

Which will give you options to resize and create partitions...which you can then skip the cfdisk portion...or it will let you at least prepare your partitions to run cfdisk

Hope this helps
