Just one more quick question -- in one of my earlier failed attempts I
reformatted the MBR -- should it be FAT32 or what? I think that's what

How did you format the MBR Mike?


I suspect you mean a partition.... :-)

Yes - in the partitioner during the install process. I can't remember why I monkeyed with it, but it's 200 Mb FAT32 now.

Cheers, Mike.
