I guess I'm missing something. Am trying a frugal installation to my second hard-drive. It has nothing on it. Tried with it formatted through Win2k as NTFS and also Fat32. With DSL 3.0.1 the cfdisk and fdisk show the partition but when I try to run frugal installation I get "Sorry system has not detected a linux partition" error after rebooting. My system is PII 233mhz. Everything else works perfectly I even have some extensions downloaded. DSL is a delight to work.Frugal Installs to a Linux partition. Poormans installs to Windows type partition.I formatted the drive as linux ie., 83 and 82.

what is your fdisk -l output?Didn't know about mkswap /dev/hdb1. Now disk hdb2 formatted and files copied from LIVECD. Installation progressed beyond "do you have windows on /dev/hda" answered "yes" =Grub installed. On re-booting still starts up with Windows. No sign of Grub. Tried frugal installation (Grub) again but with the same result, starts up in Windows (2k).Next Page...
