RE: Installation help (partitioning)

You select the main linux partition and then hit Edit. The first thing -I think- says Mount Point or something like that (it's the only place where you can type something in.) In that box type in ' / ' no guotes or spaces. Then just hit OK or whatever it says and then Done.

Hope it helps,
