Re: what is the grub step?!

thx craig,

i will try that first ting in the am, this is the second time
through, i thought it had crashed so i was watching the install
and i didnt see any errors, but neither did it work correctly.

i used the autodruid to partition, took what i though were the
defaults, delete all partitions, not just the linux partitions,
where do you suspect i went wrong?

tia, jackc...
