I haven't tried to install Knoppix, but Knoppix
runs great from the
CD on my machine.
I haven't tried creating more but smaller
partitions, but I'll
give it a shot.

Thanks to all for the advice so far. Let me
explain exactly what I have been trying. The
Debian installation program can't mount the root
partition because it contains an invalid a

I'm trying to mount the root, and the Debian

The installer I'm using is the one which starts up
when you boot the official Debian CD. I just
bought a 7 CD set which is labeled:
debian GNU/Linux 3.0r2[woody] i386 binary

I re-created my partitions. Now hda1 is 30mb and

system, I get a [Mount failed: Invalid argument]
error, and cannot proceed beyond that point. That
error doesn't make sense to me, since I am using
