New submission from Raymond Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: CPU: Intel PIII 866Mhz, RAM: 256MB Disks: hda, hdb, hdc(CD-RW)
After installation, reboot into system reveals that many things have not been installed or are installed improperly. I have preset partitions before installation. So I have separate default /boot, /, /usr, /var, /home partitions, amongst others (/boot is the first partition (hdb1), / is the second (hdb2), and so on). Installation does not understand to only put things into dedicated partitions in my case. Seems to assume in some cases that everything just goes into /. Looking at the partitions by mounting from another Linux I see that stuff has been written into the root partition (hdb2) directories for /boot, /usr, /var, /home when they are on separate partitions. For example: the kernel and /yuch have been put into hdb1(boot partition), but /grub is in the /boot "directory" of the root partition. Also, GRUB installs okay, but there is no choice as to which disk or partition to put it on. I am trying to make a new install onto the second disk, but the installer just slams the bootloader onto the first disk without any notice to the user. Luckily it works fine for booting my original Linux installation, otherwise I could have been screwed or at least a little inconvenienced. Less experienced users will really hate it functioning like this. I had tried installing Ubuntu/Kubuntu previously. There seems to be something a little bit slower about the Ulteo Live CD bootup, operation, and installation (kernel differences?). Looks better than ubuntu. I'd like to have it in. What to do? Thanks.
