Installing
« on: November 08, 2011, 04:58:26 PM »
I was surprise when the installation to hd did not work when choosing "erase entire disk". I had to manually add partitions and size. What is wrong?.
I have 2 hdd. One with win7 and added another. To install, I just unplug the one with win7(default). To boot into PCLOS, I use F12.
I like what I see. Even my sound work. Great distro.

Not sure about the option to use the entire drive. Maybe HDD needs to be empty before using this option (brand new - no partitions?). I never used this option as I am always choosing to partition the drive manually but maybe someone smarter can throw some light on the matter.

Thanks for the kind words.

Czesc. I do not mind manual partition, but for someone, that never use Linux that would be a nightmare. Not mention that I am lazy by nature.

Forgot to mention, I did manage to mess-up my "virtual screen" "Network. Found some work around - just drop firefox to panel.
