The "guided partitioning feature" completely ignored the second hard disk other than to acknowledge its existence :-). The primary drive is only 4 GB (sheesh... I remember when I would have *killed* for a drive that size), which makes for a very cramped environment for other than fairly basic installations. To be fair, the suggested partitions and corresponding sizes were pretty close to optimal if I had been limited to that one drive. Also to be fair, I haven't seen an installation partitioning program that actively encourages the use of other than the primary hard disk for "required" partitions (e.g., "/usr" if everything isn't in "/") since working with AT&T 3B2 computers back in the '80's. > Thanks for your installation report. T'was an enjoyable experience. Debian appeared to be the best- supported option as far as Linux on Alpha, and I'd say appearances were *not* deceiving :-). That's not to slam other distros, but rather, to confirm that Debian has its act together. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Tracy WTO + WIPO = DMCA? http://www.anti-dmca.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
