Hi Andy. I have used P.M. 4.0 to create a number of different partitioning schemes without any problems (you don't say which version of PM you have, maybe that has something to do with it). Mandrake recommends a simple / and /home plan, but I like a /usr/src partition as well for compiling different kernels, the size of which depending on how many you may wish to create and save. ----- Original Message ----- From: Andy Goth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, September 04, 1999 2:49 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] Mandrake installation fails on mount > > New development: I attempted to use PartitionMagic to make the Linux > > partitions after the installer failed.
