" When I heard that Gnoppix was a bootable Debian with a Gnome 2.4 desktop, I
just had to try the new rc2 release. "
"After playing with the apps and functions for a time, I go to my main machine
and boot the CD. Again, I'm greeted by that great desktop. I have recent
backups of my second 80GB HD. hdb1(linux), hdb5(swap), and hdb6(win32
transfer). So what the heck, I'll install it!"
"This is where things start to go wrong... The install console comes up with
the option to install to 'Disk 1' or to 'Disk 2'. No option for anything else!
Oh well, I have everything backed up... Right! So I pick 'Disk 2'... Intuition
tells me something's very wrong!!! Hit ctrl-alt-delete... Too late. The [EMAIL
PROTECTED]@ Gnoppix install script has just wiped my entire hda!?!?!"
After reading Larry's post I started downloading the install cd first. Then I
started reading the article that I've quoted above. Has anyone installed this
distro to their hardrive and had a good experience? The article was written
04/01/2004
hopefully they have improved the install script. Also he says that it was the
livecd that he tried
