[ltp] Newbie on the list..

You could be right about over partitioning.

At first - when I got that stupid error "installing bootloader error"  which
means that your boot sector was not within 1/2 of the drive's physical
space.
I thought that Message was because I didn't have /usr and /var .   This was
because some linux howto said that this was the best thing to do.

I think I might give it another go, and see what I come up with.

I'll let you know
