I installed and currently have running 7.1 on a P100S with 4G HD. I had to do a text install and try a few times before i got it right. Don't mess with the partition table too much or you may fsck it. At one stage i had to remove all partitions then DOS FDISK a FAT32 partitions covering the whole disk to reset the partition table to something acceptable. A well thought out install then worked fine. Only other major i had with 7.1 is fixing up the logrotate script file:/etc/logrotate.d/syslog. If you don't know about this, e-mail the list when you are ready. -- Michael
