Greetings. I have just set up my first partition table. When you specify the mount point for each partition you can use your own title or one of those in the menu. I can't remember all of them, but they had names like / var, /tmp etc etc. Where can I find information about which of these I need to create partitions for and what they're supposed to be used for. Currently I have (ext3): / swap /home /audio I guess when I'm installing software an arbitrarily structured partition table is likely to result in chaos ? something I'm naturally quite keen to avoid. Many thanks in advance, Tom -- Whatever you Wanadoo: http://www.wanadoo.co.uk/time/ This email has been checked for most known viruses - find out more at: http://www.wanadoo.co.uk/help/id/7098.htm
