The fdisk -l /dev/sda output is below, but in the meantime I tried installing
Kubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 on the same drive, and had no problems creating
sda13 for /, and sda14 for /home, as you can see below, and HH is installed
ok.

And the same for sdb, which is supposed to be just for data, but F9 is also
there at the mo.

sdb1, and sdb2 have no Win OS on them, and just so that I can store data
easily from any of the Linux OS's easily, and retrieve it again to whichever
Linux OS happens to be booted at the time.
I can think of better fielsystems to use instead of FAT32 for that.
Ext2 comes to mind first....
Can't login to either KDE or Gnome on F9 though. Firstboot ran on the reboot,
entered user name, and password, then Firstboot decided to crash. The login
screen on a reboot shows my realname, and hovering the mouse over it says
logging in using my user name, which it shows. So I enter the password, but
nothing from Gnome, just back to the login. Trying a KDE session, it displays
an error box top left, saying something like "check installation". Anyway
that problem if I can't fix it is for a new thread.
Thanks for all the replies.
Nigel.
