Hey Stef,

I managed to get the computer to boot off of a cd I burnt from boot.iso
and saw the option of installing from the hard drive. What file system
should the partition be?

I made mine ext2, since the system already had Linux on it. However, I
think it can be any file system that Linux recognizes, even NTFS. That
makes it convenient, if the machine you're putting Linux on only has
Windows on it. Better verify this, of course. The last time I did this
was about 4 years ago, and Windows wasn't installed on the target machine.
