Well I wanted to put hardy in it's own partition. Then to see if
that was a problem I let the LiveCD select a place which it did, and
failed as usual.
Had fun with the LiveCD. It does have a real /var/log/ directory and
it has all the usual files. So I let it run and when it crapped out I
looked at /var/log/messages and there seemed to be a LOT of data.
So I mounted THIS partition to the LiveCD and then cp to this
computer. Here is the end of it:
