argh. I hate hotmail and it's stupid 'You are browsing a site out of hotmail' banner.
Anyway, I didn't know I had to make a linux swap partition. I only realised when it popped up somewhere in the install.
. I made a 128 meg partition, and the install went almost perfectly. (as I'm stuck in Enlightenment. The peanut site
www.ibiblio.org/peanut says it comes with KDE, or am I mistaken and it comes with support for KDE? )
