Hi Sorry to be a bore because this question comes up quite frequently. Well now its my turn. Could someone explain in plain English how you select the partitions that you want Redhat 7.2 to use? I thought that I was selecting them but Redhat kept telling me that I hadn't selected a root partition. I can cursor down to the partition which is already set as ex2 but I don't know how to select it. I thought that I needed to press F3 but that only confused me.
