cfdisk in DSl
ive been playing around in dsl (damn small linux) live for some time and i love the simplicity of it. but when i go into cfdisk to partition my hard drive, it says like
"Fatal ErrorSmilieoes not have permission"

i am trying out Xandros desktop os 2.0 right now on my laptop. Can some one help me out with adding dsl to my computer with a dual boot.
