Hi, three questions arisen from my first attempt to install a Debian system on an E-250:
1. There is a SunOS 5.7 installed. Is it safe to share the swap partition between Debian and SunOS? i.e. Should I format that partition as "Linux swap" during the install process? (Ultralinux FAQ says YES, but I'd calm if someone confirms!) 2. How reliable is at present the Linux kernel UFS read/write support? Can I share the "/export/home - /home" partition? (again, Ultralinux FAQ states there's no problem, but I've seen several warnings elsewhere) 3. Too big letters in the text screens of Debian install! Many cannot be read easily. Is there any way of reducing console font size? Thank you very much in advance. carlos PS: If it can help, my partition table is like this: Part. Label Size (GB) ----- ----- --------- 0 root 0.5 1 swap 2 2 backup 16 3 unassigned 0 4 unassigned 0 5 unassigned 2 6 usr 2 7 home 10 My idea is to install Debian / in slice 5, and use SunOS swap and home if possible. Else, I'd split the 2 GB of slice 5 among slices 3, 4 and 5 (for Debian /, swap and /home). Any suggestion will be highly appreciated :-) Many thanks again.
