You report a message above: > once my partitions setup and I select "Q" to continue I always get > the error: Error mounting /mnt/dev/wd0s1f on /mnt/usr: Invalid > argument. That's not quite correct: you wouldn't get this message until you commit. To understand this one, I really need the *exact* details. I'd suspect that the partition editor is getting confused. While you're trying, try both with a boot manager and "dangerously dedicated" (in other words, no partition table). One may work. Greg
