I've read though most of the threads, but I can't figure out how to partition my card correctly. GParted won't install (lib6 generates a strange screen warning while installing and screws everything up), parted won't install and I can't figure out the option for EXT2 format for sfdisk. So I tried the console-tools but the DEB package won't download properly (quits after 2.4M).

Assuming I can get one of these tools working can someone point me to some instructions because I've spent a lot of time paging through posts and I'm not getting very far.

Thanks in advance.
