installing full monty 2011 - SOLVED

[derekf]

Hello,

 Yesterday i downloaded PCLINUXOS KDE FULLMonty. Now i am trying to erase PC-BSD and put PCLINUXOS onto my hard drive.

When i go into Draklive-install and click on Erase and use entire disk and click next, then click next again, it says this: An error occured Not enough space availble (10GB availble while 11GB are needed.

I have a 500GB Hard Drive an 4GB Memory.

Can someone tell me what i am doing wrong please ?

 Derek.

hmm, with your specs can you try to
- go into manual partitioning, then select and delete each existing partition,
- when there is only empty disk-space left set up a new
a) swap-partition (2GB)
b) ext4-partition (50GB) and mount it under "/",
c) ext4-partition (remaining disk space) and mount it under "/home"

then continue with the installation, should work.
good luck,
-p.

pinoc, Thanks for the help.

 I will try what you said.

I deleted all the partitions and now am lost.

I am new to this kind of stuff and not sure how to do what you said.

when you are in the FullMonty live-session, goto desktop 6 (System) and click on the icon "Installation-Help". This will open a web-browser with detailed instructions, as the name suggests
hope this helps,
