I'm not sure why you felt wiping the hard drive was needed. Generally, |
| 51 |
you can stop and come back and finish a install at pretty much any point |
| 52 |
without losing anything. It may be helpful to read through the handbook |
| 53 |
first and then do the install. I read the install docs a few times |
| 54 |
before I tried to do my first install. It helps to know how to work |
| 55 |
through things without getting frustrated or confused on what to do to |
| 56 |
get though a problem. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
That said, you;ve learned how some things work so next time should be a |
| 59 |
bit easier. ;-) |
