so I have done this install process about 20 times now, and we are stuck on an error right now. the error says, "error unmounting swap partition" (i think thats what it says its hard to read). i dont know how to get past it, although i do know that when asked what partition to use, "e" is the only option. i do not have 3.5 g open on my e drive, and i have plenty on f, but it is not an option on the screen to select them. how do i do this?

you need 3.5 GBs of space on E even if you want to install to F
The installer extracts the files to E, patches them and then copies them over to F. Make some temporay space on E first

well i made sure that there is enough room on my e partition (theres actually like 4g), and the error is still coming up. any ideas?

so it copies automatically... does that mean i can delete everything off my e drive when its done and the files will work off of f?

If you install to F the big files (rootfs and swap) are placed on F all the other files go on E and must remain there
