Please pardon the delay in my response I allowed my personal life to
intrude and didn't get to use my computer (except to efile) for about a
month...
Thing is, while several attempts to install from the same powerpack set
of mdk10.1 to the {primary} non-dos partition /dev/hda4 failed to yield
bootable results. I was (once I cleaned it out) able to make a clean
install to my "theBigTmp" backup storage {logical drive in the extended
dos} partition at /dev/hdc10 And once it existed it only took tar and a
little editing to make a restored mdk10.1 to work on /dev/hda4... ??? ...
I'd appreciate any clues to why the installer didn't like /dev/hda4 but
had no problem with /dev/hdc10 ????
