   There was a big mess with the partition situation caused partly by me   
   but not really, and the result was that nothing was completely right.   
   At one point the PartEd in Feisty showed nothing, no partitions, no   
   nothing.  I couldn't fix it with the PartEd in Feisty, there was nothing   
   I knew how to work with in Linspire's partition, all I had on the Win98   
   partition was Partition Magic 4 [how's that for some old stuff?] and I   
   had a hard time getting the right kind of cooperation out of that, but   
   finally I worked something out.  I rearranged everything with PM4 which   
   made an extended ext2 partition, which got changed later, but that was   
   the setup for installing feisty in.   
      
   By then I had herd4, which has a better/different installer set of   
   options than herd3 did, and then also the herd4 PartEd was healthy   
   because of what I had fixed with Win98's PM4.   
      
   In any case, I got herd4 installed, and so far everything is fine with   
   it.   
      
   The open office in uptodate Feisty herd4 is 2.1 dated Feb 12.
