Dear Dennis, Sorry, didn't think of that. It's a desktop, Celeron 1.7M, two HDDs (40 GB and 80GB), monitor Samsung 45Bn. My disks are already partitioned and I have Fedora Core 5 (which is my regular OS), Mandriva 2006 and Windows 98 (okay, okay, I know, but I do need it sometimes -- I have to earn a living after all and need some Windows programmes), which I use only very occasionally. I am quite proficient at installation, and have installed many distros. over time to try them out. At Step 5 of gnewsense installation, I always check the "Partition disks manually" -- either of the other options would create havoc on my already nicely partitioned disks. That's the point from where the thing refuses to move forward.
