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 =C2=B4Live CD=C2=B4 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 b= e able to supply some , presumably useful , comments . Even useless comments may show other better alternatives . Thank you very much . Mehmet Erol Sanliturk
