Good catch, Margarita. Thanks! It did not click in my mind that I need to go back into the partitioner to create the filesystems and mount-points. I'll take another look. I just today discovered the IBM donation of EVMS to the LINUX world. I'll bet I also need to select evms-udeb? I have not been because I didn't know what EVMS is. If not required, what does evms-udeb add? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
