I was happy to have a MEPIS Live CD around with ext4 support. I've used it to move data about and pre-partition/pre-format the partitions, except for the ones used for sRAID.
I don't know if MEPIS supports the architecture you're using, but maybe Knoppix would be more suitable. Knoppix has it's Debian base in common with MEPIS. Also, when partitioning with a GUI tool, keep 8 MiB free space before the first partition and appropriate alignment keeping the first cylinder free is guaranteed as long as the free space is honoured. It might get you to end up with a second cylinder unused at the beginning, but that shouldn't be a problem anyhow. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
