I've got a nice dell 1850 that I'd like to use to try out the toolkit. 
It has a single 70 gig
drive.  I see the recommendations, but I don't see minimums.  I tried to 
see if I might
find helpful prompts in the install procedures.  There is nothing to 
tell me how many
partitions I need and what their minimum sizes need to be, other than 
the example
that it might complain about 8 GB.

Is this hopeless?

What I'd really like to see is an install script that told me that I 
have an XX size
disk drive and therefore here's what we recommend.  OK (Y/N)?
This will wipe your disk drive, OK (Y/N)?

I did go into the custom formatting screen and that seems to be just a 
disaster.
On my KB, the arrow keys seem erratic.  The mouse doesn't work, and the
toolkit provides no instructions in any case.

Thanks for any help.
