" When I heard that Gnoppix was a bootable Debian with a Gnome 2.4 desktop, I just had to try the new rc2 release. "
"After playing with the apps and functions for a time, I go to my main machine and boot the CD. Again, I'm greeted by that great desktop. I have recent backups of my second 80GB HD. hdb1(linux), hdb5(swap), and hdb6(win32 transfer). So what the heck, I'll install it!"

"This is where things start to go wrong... The install console comes up with the option to install to 'Disk 1' or to 'Disk 2'. No option for anything else! Oh well, I have everything backed up... Right! So I pick 'Disk 2'... Intuition tells me something's very wrong!!! Hit ctrl-alt-delete... Too late. The #@%*#*#@ Gnoppix install script has just wiped my entire hda!?!?!"
 
After reading Larry's post I started downloading the install cd first. Then I started reading the article that I've quoted above. Has anyone installed this distro to their hardrive and had a good experience?  The article was written 04/01/2004 
hopefully they have improved the install script. Also he says that it was the livecd that he tried
