I had a really difficult time with DiskDrake. No matter what I tried, it
would not properly setup the bootstrap partition. The only way I could get
it to work was to use the whole disk (2nd hard drive). If anyone else had
this problem, and found a way around it, I would love to hear about it. I'd
like to keep the distro on, but I need some of the space on my second drive
to be HFS.
I was pretty impressed that it detected my TV card.
Not to slam anyone that worked on it, but I think this should have been a
"Preview Release 2".
My .02,
Phil
