OK. One last update in case someone googles and runs up on this thread. I'm using gdisk to display this, because I think it will do better in email. If I use cgdisk, it is wider and will wrap more. This is what the partition table looks like for GPT, old BIOS and no uefi thingy. Just a straight forward and simple old school setup. Once the first one is done, the rest can be anything. Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name 1 2048 10239 4.0 MiB EF02 BIOS-boot 2 10240 4204543 2.0 GiB 8300 boot 3 4204544 12593151 4.0 GiB 8300 swap 4 12593152 327165951 150.0 GiB 8300 root 5 327165952 625141759 142.1 GiB 8300 home I'm about to start a fresh install on this so if it isn't right, let me know soon. I did make it a little larger than everyone says it needs to be since grub does seem to grow. That should be bigger than I'll ever need in the lifetime of this old rig anyway. Dale :-) :-)
