I'm not sure I understand this. If nothing else, I've installed and
re-installed linux dozens of times w/o problem. You should be able to
initialize your existing linux partitions and go full steam ahead. Are you
selecting "Install" not "Upgrade"? Perhaps have a go at "expert" It doesn't
get much easier than LM, so I'm puzzled. If you had it installed before, I
doubt you have a 1024 limit prob., besides this would only prevent you from
booting your installed system. Perhaps a little more info? Hope I'm not
off-base, I will add that I have installed LM the least amount of times, but
most installs are close to the same.
