Donald,

The system will not format the entire drive, only the partition you select
to install on. For example, if you select /dev/hda12 as your install drive,
then only /dev/hda12 will be formatted. You could also format the partition
under another one of the Linux distributions you are running and try the
upgrade option. This option will not format anything.
Let me know how it goes and I will try and help in anyway that I can.

Joseph

Hi Joseph,
No I have NOT installed it yet,the LI was when I tried to install
from
the CD.
I'm not worried about booting,because I have 30 Linux installed
and boot them with Loadlin,anywhere on the drive.
I would like to try Your Linux,but when I saw it was going to
Format
The whole Drive,that would be a lot of work installing the others.

I think I got to number 4 on the install menu.
Any help would be welcome
Donald
