package (nobody say anything about the Contribs package, I already tried
that), I did install
Did you do anything special to have it ask you to format immediately?
I have to use the boot disk and then choose F1 and then expert or text. It
loads the kernel, finds the CDROM and then goes into second stage install
At that point it dies. Going to tty4 (I think) to see the install log shows

I finally found it - for some reason, /boot is NOT the true boot partition
here. I manually mounted /dev/hda5 as /mnt/boot, and there, finally, was
menu.lst.

The partition numbers from 5 and up refer to partitions

There can be only four primary partitions -- all or none of
