[12:55] <cjwatson> aarcane: I've not tried it, but if you run in expert mode then I think you should be able to tell the partitioner to create a new partition table of type 'loop' on hda, and then you just get one "partition" on it which is the whole disk
[12:55] <cjwatson> but, like I say, haven't checked - it's an untested case so may not work right
[12:56] <cjwatson> I don't entirely understand why your requirements lead to needing to use the whole disk instead of a partition though
[12:56] <cjwatson> (I'm going to bed now, so it'll be a while before I reply now)
[04:41] <krieggegengott> would someone here be able to give me a hint or two as to why my installation is failing?
