[plug] linux boot partition and size?

[Craig Reynolds]

got it sorted. Seems that Seagate drive overlay thingy that is running on
the hard drive (from memory it was installed to get the hard drive working)
was interfering in something. I used a boot disk to install, bypassing the
overlay software and it went fine. Now all I have to do is work out how to
use the OS ;)

Just because this is never going to work is no reason to be negative!
