(Get the code!)
I installed from Flight-7 liveCD, with existing partitions
hda1: 64MB ext2 bootable; hda2: 1GB swap; and hda3: 38GB jfs, all made in Knoppix, and all mountable/usable.
I selected manual editing of partition table, but only assigned the mount points: /boot to hda1, / to hda3 and swap to hda2 -- I did not check reformatting these partitions. Same problem as before: installing the system started and quit almost immediately.
I then repeated with also checking the reformatting boxes -- and now the install proceeded OK.
Does the installer insist on reformatting by design? Then the reformat check boxes are superfluous.
