On my machine, ctrl-alt-f1 hung the x-server and
didn't give me a command prompt so I rebooted and ran
the knx-hdinstall script from within a Konsole window
(as su) and got a graphical installation, buttons and
etc. The partitioning tool was still a command line
tool though, fdisk or cfdisk I can't remember and was
pretty horrible even though I know what I'm doing. I
would recomend using something like the mandrake
partitioningtool in advance to set up your partitions.

Another thing I noticed is that the script dumps
everything except swap on one partition no matter how
many partitions you have, so after a fateful attempt I
had to go back and make one big partition and one for
swap. I will worry about sorting this out later as I
prefer /usr /home and /var on different partitions.

Overall though I'm very happy with it. I do have an
issue with sound which I will post in another thread.
