Caldera and advanced installs (Score 1)

I just went through trying to install Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 on a system, but had to break apart into multiple partitions (/, /usr, /home, /opt) because of some info on the hard drive I needed. When it came to the formatting part, I could not format 2 of the 4 partitions, thus I ran out of space and the install failed. I tried a couple of times a couple of different ways and finally just put Mandrake on since it was easy enough to install and was able to handle the multiple partions. Also, it seems Caldera's install is slower than Mandrake or Redhat. Beyond that, I did have Caldera running at one time on another machine and I think it looks slick and clean, but for now its Mandrake because of the install.
