Live CD won't install

[newklear]

SOLVED
Was able to install and reboot PCLOS 2010 LXDE :-)

I don't know how exactly, but this did the job for me:
1. Wiped the whole disk clean again using the 2009 LXDE Live CD
2. First created my /boot partition 300MB as ext3 - Primary (hda1)
3. Created a Swap parition 4GB - Primary (hda2)
3. Created a partition labeled pclos-2009-lxde as ext3 - Primary (hda3)
4. Created a partition labeled pclos-2010-lxde as ext3 - Extended which becomes hda5 (hda4 - extended space)
5. Created last Partition for data and misc as ext3 Primary (hda6)

6. After installing pclos-2009-lxde on hda3, I immediately replaced the CD with pclos-2010-lxde and rebooted.

7. On 2010 LIVE CD bootup, it gave me that "Error: Unable to establish connection with FAM. Do you have FAM or Gamin running?" error message which is easily fixed by right-clicking on the desktop, left-clicking Desktop Settings > Desktop > Check 'Manage the desktop and show file icons'

8. I double Clicked Install and it ran as expected :-) I then installed and "/"'etd pclos 2010-lxde on sda5

Yehaaa! - Both pclos 2009 and 2010 LXDE are installed.
2010 Looks and Feels brillant, absoloutely no complaints, well except for that of no wvdial.
Any easy wvdial install method perhaps ?

Thanks a mill old-polack you were a great help, just goes to show the importance of proper partitioning.
Thank you to all involved with 2010 PCLinuxOS, good job good job.

Excellent.

Wvdial is in the repositories. Open Synaptic, click the Reload button, wait for it to finish. Click the Search button, then enter wvdial in the box and click Search. click the box in front of wvdial and select Mark for Installation. Click the Mark All Upgrades button. Click Apply, then Apply again from the pop up window. Wait for the process to complete. When finished you will have an up to the minute upgraded system with wvdial also installed.

Thanks for that, I first need to get connected to the internet through 2010 first though.
Using wvdial, kppp, gnome-ppp etc. are the only dialers that allow connection.

Is there perhaps an easy way to install wvdial and ppp or should I just go along with the dependecies/other files needed?
Can I duplicate wvdial and it's dependecies that is working on 2009 onto 2010?
