I have a question about how best to divide things up in the new setup.
I'm thinking to replace this IDE drive with two SATA HDs. One as small
as I can get. Say 100GB or so and make that the boot drive. And a second
HD say 500GB or so and moving the LVM over to that.
Would it be better to m
I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you saying that the
installer does not recognize existing partitions already on the hard
disk? Or are
you saying that it won't let you create more than five partitions during
installation? Or are you saying that only five different mount points

You said there was an ATA limit of 16 partitons on Lenny, but the HD on
the Dimension 8400 is a SATA. Does that make a difference?

But the Dell has SATA, does that make a difference in the number of
