I wonder what "pure install is", perhaps one that takes over the entire hard disk, makes the partitions, and makes a new installation?if these folks that develop the mini-live CDs, puppy and others, especially slax, would also develop a pure install like so many people are wanting, then that would contribute significantly to reduce waste and save some energy from making new machines uneccessarly.
Note: I may be able to make one by adding to the already existing scripts, but learning how to will take me some time, so it may be useful to open the discussion...
More notes: Personally, I have experienced this with version 1.06: Using a 64-MB RAM PC, I created the swap partition but forgot to format it. When I rebooted with the live CD, it was trying to use the swap and failing to, causes the CD-boot to fail, so I had to use another Linux distro to format the swap file.
