:
i started with the win98 rescuse disk so i have cd rom support.
i run the file "ezstart.bat" from the cd in drive F:
i choose the A option (zero floppy diskette install) ---> English
language ---> us keybord ---> install from local cd ---> install new
system ---> custom ---> no scsi ---> Disk druid .

now i cane to a screen  " current disk partitions " i have here two device :
hda1 & hda5 both are win95 FAT32 ( i have one hard disk split to two useing
PowerQuest PartitionMagic Pro 6.0 ).

whan i tring to hit "next" i get the message :
"no root partition - you must assign a root (/) partition to a kinux native
partition (ext2) for the install to proceed".

i tried to use the "add" option and the "edit" option a few times but i
