This one I hope I can clear up for you: The thing is, when you partition your drive w/ fdisk from dos, it creates dos-type partitions (called fat16, IIRC). You need to use cfdisk (the user-friendly version of Linux' fdisk), in order to make the Linux-type partitions. In your case, you would make one of type 82 and one of type 83. So what you do is answer Yes to run cfdisk; it's a very friendly, self-explanatory program... Once you have the right partitions, the install process should work like a charm. BTW, you're probably going to get quite crammed in 350Mb hd. I started with 515,and soon had to stuff in some more disks, now I have 1.4G, which will have to do for now.(Using X, netscape, mozilla, WordPerfect, etc). HTH
