The erp5 live cd does not need an operating system installed. The
operating system is located on the cd and loaded in RAM. when you start
up the live cd you are presented with a dialog to format the hard
drive. This will create the needed directory structure on your hard
drive. Once formatting is complete and you reboot back into the live cd
the new hard disk data will be mounted at /mnt/erp5cd and your
nonvolatile data will be stored in there.

<br>ERP5 Users,<br><br>I have downloaded the ERP5 Live CD 1.0rc11 but am having trouble on start<br>up where it cannot find the erp5cd directory. The system is a fresh<br>Fedora Core 6 install. I created the directory at /erp5cd and gave it
<br>wide open 777 permissions. The partitioning is whatever the Fedora<br>install wanted to do by default.<br><br>Here is some debug information showing details on the system and an fdisk<br>output to show the hard disk partitioning.
