(1)
I have installed the new system onto the same computer I have specified in
my previous message without any difficulty .
I easily deleted effects of yesterday install and redefined hard disk
partition easily .
It is installed without any error message .
The installed system booted successfully and worked very well .
(2)
I have tried ´Live CD´ selection .
It requested login name and password .
Pressing Enter only did not allow login .
Continuously asked user name and password for login .
Only power switching could stop the computer .
(3)
If you please write your planned installation structure , perhaps we will be
able to supply some , presumably useful , comments . Even useless comments
may show other better alternatives .
Thank you very much .
