As I recall it I didn't partition the disk ahead of time, and this was in my RedHat5.2 days. Shortly after that distro came out. Anyway, do distinctly remember installing it to a seperate physical drive. these days though with the burner sitting here I just as soon burnit and get on with it. but I do see the application for needing a HDD install. I've got a SuSE installation sitting here on disk that I've got to split up and attempt to burn to CD so's I can try and install it. Mark
