To create a partition type different than the standard (ext2) use the --type=X format, where X is the numerical value of the partition as found in fdisk. E.g. # Partitions zerombr yes # Initialize any invalid partition tables #clearpart --all # Clear all partitions clearpart --linux # Clear all Linux partitions (type 82, 83, fd) part swap --size 512 # All numbers are in MB part /boot --size 100 part / --size 100 --grow # This is how to use all of the remaining space part /home 3000 part /fat --size 45 --type b This is the format for Redhat 7.1, so the others may be different. The --type b is for Win95 FAT32. Type 6 is FAT16, 4 is FAT16 < 32 MB, 1 is FAT12. Others you can find by typing fdisk /dev/hda (or sda if you have scsi drives) at a command prompt in Linux, and then type L. q will exit when you are done. Forrest
