Hi,
George, you can select partitions manually.  The OBI is generally
intended to ZAP old machines that are unusable.

*Paul,* and *Nio* need to get together to put a good quick intro on how
to partition things manually, as this would be most helpful for people
wishing to install alongside another OS.  I didn't design OBI, and I
really only packaged it, and tweaked it to work from a package.  I just
click through and wipe the virtual drive clean each time.  I also have a
dedicated machine ONLY for testing ToriOS, so I wipe it clean each time
as well...

The alpha-rc2 is fairly old and has some missing features, etc..
The webbrowser on the LiveCD is links2  it is horrid to look at in some
ways, and does not do much modern web-browsing.  flash is not
preinstalled (copyright reasons of course) and the Manual has since been
fixed, and changed to a different format.

The system install will have seamonkey (like the old Netscape suite),
and if there is enough room on the final build, we can include it in the
ISO as well for live users.

There are a few things we have to get in order before releasing the next
iteration of these images.  But the one we are working on is MUCH better
(under-the-hood) and will make installing most applications and using
them work just fine.

But, that said, I think I did get flash working fine on that build...
however you have to have a powerful enough machine to test it on.
