Corel Linux

[Jason Brown]

Ouch,  corel does have a long way to go for the install process.  One way you
might get around the limitations is to use a linux boot disk (or boot cdrom)
from another distribution to fdisk the hard drive for you.  Then use these
partitions within the corel install program.  If you run into the situation
where corel will not let you set a mount point for an existing partition (yes
I have seen this happen), then delete one partition at a time and re-add it.
When you add a partition, you should be able to set the proper mount point.


Or go with another distribution.  I mostly use mandrake, but if you want to
try a debian based system, storm linux is pretty good.  I did have some
problems with it detecting scsi cards at boot time, but that was the only
problem.
