Hello Geert,

So my calculation wasn't wrong was it? (see also other post).

Is the installer menu command no good for mounting partitions?

No, I'm not that silly. In any case, I was careful, because it is only a
200Mb partition (reserved for OS4 when it eventually comes out :-) which I can afford to lose if things go wrong.

I remember typing man xxxx before (where xxxx = some command name) and  it
told me no manuals were installed or something and told me to use
'apt-get install man-db'. But I was going to do this once I had got my installed
partition to boot successfully. I still have to stop the kernel crashing when trying
to set the system clock before I can do so of these other things. 

Thanks to all for all the help so far. 

Kind regards,
