Multiboot machine?

Uhhh ... I've tried putting the whole Linux install on a logical partition and it didn't work ... it worked only with the boot partition as primary ... yeah I used GRUB

It is fucking old shite! What's the alternatives (and I don't care about Windows)? What way do Macs work?

Aloone_Jonez:
What the fuck Vector Linux SOHO is taking fucking ages to install!

This is my second attempt, the first resulted in an error message like:

Something has gone wrong but don't worry, press enter to return to the shell, if you want the user friendly set up program back then type /sbin/vsetup(can't remember the last bit properly)

Fucking hell this is the kind of shitty error message I would expect from Windows XP not Linux!

Anyway I got setup to check the install CD (which I'd forgotton to do the last time) and it said it was ok, now I've set it to install again and gone away and left it, I've just had a look three hours later and it's still fucking going and it's only 65% complete. Bloodyhell I could do a direct install from the Internet with other distros (is it possible?) at this rate! :mad:

Sure you can do a network install from the internet. I did it with Debian once, and other distros also have minimal boot CDs for installation that fetch the latest packages from the repositories.

Some distros setup shells on different virtual terminals for logging stuff during installation. Try pressing CTRL+ALT+(F2,F3,F4 etc.) to see if there's one setup on there...

Aloone_Jonez:
Don't know if it's worth the trouble just connecting this box to the net would be a pain.

If this install fails I'll reburn the disc - I'm using re-wrightables here otherwise I don't know how many CDs I would've wasted.
