Hi again,

Rock solid. This is the first time I decided to install an "easy" Linux
distro, I normally use Slackware, but I decided that I really need the RPM
support.
The only problem I had is that it messed up my partition table, I have 4Gb
Extended partition containing all my Linux partitions as /dev/hda1 -
containing, /dev/hda5,6,7, and 8 for Linux, then 10Gb for Windows on
/dev/hda2, then 2Gb for BeOS on /dev/hda3. For some reason if I just had
/dev/hda2 and /dev/hda3 on my hard disk, with the spare space where the
extended partiton would be, the installer overlapped the extended partition
and my Be partition, rendering both Be and Linux unbootable. I just deleted
the extended partition and it restored my Be partiton, then I created the
extended partition manually with a Slack boot disk, and did a autoallocate
inside that, and it all worked.
Probably too much info there but, hey you asked!
Thanks
