Got all the way through the selection of packages. All those time consuming tasks and the install got to formating the drive and crashed on a format error!
Since I know exactly how I want to lay out the partitions, is there a way I can boot from CD, and get into Disk Druid to set the partitions and do the formating. Then when I come to the install just select to keep the drive how it is?
And I have to have LVM....
You could hit ALT-F2 and set everything up from the console by hand (including formatting) and then just tell disk druid _not_ to format. I haven't tried that, but it feasibly might work...
What hardware are you on? And what error are you getting exactly on format?
