    When it asks for a mount point it basically means it wants a starting point to put the whole tree onto. It's much the same as the c:\ but in your case you'd use /

    All the rest of your tree will then branch out under this root folder. /tmp - /usr - /etc - /bin and on and on....

    For usefull sites check this thread:

    As you said, it's already throwing you around. Try get a good book. I got my version with the unleashed book, which helpfully explains you through the installation process - what you are doing and why. Linux can be good fun, but if you've never used any Unix-like system before, it can be very daunting. Look out for HOWTO's at www.linuxdoc.org but even then some of these require you to have some knowledge. Do Goolge searches for tutorials and stuff, it's the only way.
