[edit]When I choose "Automatic Partitioning". It works. But I don't want a home directory and would like to choose my own partitioning scheme.[/edit]

Tried to install of the LiveCD by running the installer via the ICON on the desktop.

Used Cfdisk to manually partition my drive. Wrote the partition table, enabled swap and after clicking on OK to got the next step of "Select and Install Partions" is when the below Error shows.

In CFdisk I just created 3 primary partitions as a test for two cameras.

/dev/sda1 Boot = 128MB type=83/linux bootflag=set
/dev/sda3 Root = 18GB type=83/linux
/dev/sda2 Swap = 1GB type=82/linux swap

Code: Select all

larchin error

What am I doing wrong?

This is a 20GB drive to test with.

If I were to create / and /var partitions which one should have more space? I'm assuming VAR but I'm not sure. Would this work better for effeciency or should I just stick with boot, root, and swap?

Thanks for any help.
