Hey, May I ask a similar question...?
First, I've been using RedHat since 5.0 & have been running 7.2 for...well, a long time. I've grown very tired of RH's reminding me so much of M$ that I'd gone so far as to try XP out in hopes I could get away from RH & be able to play my games again. Anyway, I've no desire to run XP -- or any other M$ OS any longer. A guy I know has offered to burn Gentoo 1.4 for me, &, as I have a new 80GB hard drive, I was thinking I'd like to go for it & install Gentoo on that new drive -- particularly as Gentoo seems to have the ability to run many dos & Windows games quite well. My question has to do with partitions as well. I've been running the same /home partition on /dev/hdb1 for quite a few installs of RH. # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 37G 3.4G 31G 10% / /dev/hda1 76M 15M 57M 21% /boot /dev/hdb1 12G 511M 10G 5% /home none 251M 0 251M 0% /dev/shm /dev/hdb2 13G 3.0G 9.3G 24% /backup /dev/hdd1 75G 20k 71G 1% /backup2 (/dev/hda1 is so big because I have a few different kernels in there) I'll be swapping the current /dev/hdd1 to be /dev/hda & the current /dev/hda. Now, I've been using DiskDruid for partitioning when I set up, & have used fdisk countless times on different drives for partitioning, but never during setup. Will the setup -- assuming, as it should, will find all drives & will set fstab to mount /dev/hdb1 as /home, or will I have to do that manually after first boot as root? Meph -- I've given up reading books; I find it takes my mind off myself. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
