I did a PD hard drive install just using the GUI feature--part of the install process brings up gparted where you can make your partition changes. IIRC, I used ext4 for the system partition and haven't had any problems. That installed puredyne like a normal distro install, which is what I wanted (I didn't want to have to deal w/ any removable media (or as I tend to think of it: forgettable and losable media :D )). -- Peaces, Jake
