partitioning and install from live cd

Hello,

I tried to install Pclinuxos from the CAELinux live-cd on my laptop computer (ASUS with three Windows partitions) but was stopped just at the beginning.

1/ the install icon of the cd works but that's all;
I can look to the existing partition on the HD on the first screen and choose the one I want but Select \"Resize\" cannot be found and so unable to change the size if necessary.

2/The second screen \"Partition selection\" is not activated so I was stopped at this point.

I wonder if the problem will not come from the live-cd ( CAELinux Beta2 and PCLinuxOS.92) even if it runs very well with the tutorials.

Please What can I Do ?

If the bilt-in partition manager don't work properly, you can as a last chance option resize and /or the partitions and create ther necesaries with Windows tools like Partition Magic.

Thank's a lot

It works whith \"unmonted\" and I was abble to go up to the install program.Great !
Unfortunately the process which normally takes 30 minutes, after 2 hours and more was not finished ( 99% was reached after 30 min, elapse time over, but seemed to never ended). So I canceled and managed to try again wthis same options: root(5G),swap(1G), home(4G) whithout success.The problem is that the bootloader cannot been intalled.
A message came: only 2.5Gig available for /root. So it semed to me that intallation was done but How booting without lilo (recommended)installed? I have no cd to boot whith.
Thank for last chance help.

ps: I have Ultimateboot-basic on a CD, but I don't understand how to use it (only Grub is available , not lilo)

Thank you for a so quick answer and right advice.

\"Install\" operates correctly after changing the partition as you told me: 9 Gig for root and 1 Gig for swap, eliminating home.It took 35 minutes. That was the solution !
Now I can boot as I want:linux or Windows just the name of windows partition has change: C become D.I have no explanation.

Thank again.

ps: la prochaine fois j'irai sur le bon forum.
