    ok, this is really annoying now,

    i've being trying to install Back track 2 into VMware, now the LiveCD boots no probs into BT2, however, i can't get it installed to HDD

    do i need to create the virtual partitions with some util as BT2 install doesn't seem to have the ability to create partitions

    please help, this is driving me insane

    BTW: google & google linux are about as helpful as fire proof wood on a log fire, TIA

    thankies, i'll try it soon

    BTW: lately i've being messing with the xorg.conf to try to sort my grfx drvers, as it AT couldn't sort 3D (although he did get some nVidea drivers working, but no 3D:( ) anyway, i'll get on it soon

    i won't give in, i'll get 3D working even though i never play games

    more recently i've being trying to restore an unbootable Kubuntu install from my Maxtor (rebaged Seagate) drive, and trying to retrieve data (basically, good fun)

    BTW: i'm still a masochist, yesterday i brought Kubuntu to it's knees, by resizing 2 partitions while copying about 40Gb of .iso images & it was so slow, trying to catch up with itself, but i power off, & today it's fine

    BTW: sorry for moaning

    but i'll try it soon, thankies

    Edit: in the meantime I've booted a USB pen to try restoring the unbootable HDD, after a while i figured :swear: it & rebooted onto my working Kubuntu install, i'll sort it later

    BTW: if your still reading this your as sad as me for writing this, we may be sad but we don't care, were happy

    Edit: i nearly deleted this post a couple of days ago, i'm glad i didn't now:beer:

    Edit: the unbootable HDD, it was my fault, i killed it by uninstalling HAL, & network manager :doh: i won't be doing that again, well, not in a hurry
