hey Paul....
i think it's on the Mandrake Linux site where you can find the install instuctions.
before i bought 7.0 at the store i went to the site & printed up the instructions
there which included a very good intro / explination of disk partitioning. when i
bought 7.0 i found that the book that came with it contained exactly the same
information. so you can get this stuff from the site. if you can't find it there
drop me a note & i'll send you the URL from the printouts that i have.
glad i could be of help, instead of asking for help =)

Ahhh... That is the difference. I have used the ISO images for 7.0 and
7.1. I have never seen instructions in books! Thanks for the info.
