Hi Surely this will only be useful for some installations. I'm currently recording a installation of Fedora 7 which I'll submit to the main menu team for broadcast if I'm satisfied. In this scenario, my hard disks are already partitioned and they contain other Linux distributions. I wouldn't want these partitions removed by one installation.

First I started out by selecting default partitioning. Next where it said view and modify partitions I picked yes. Third, I got onto the big slash partition and hit f2 and was asked to you want to create a new partition or logical volume and I chose to create a new partition. 4) Since I want to create two more partitions and the slash partition is the space from which these are being taken I figured the slash partition should be 1/6 of the original space and the /usr/local should be 1/3 and the /home should be 1/2. So I keyed in my mount point for /usr/local and divided the 113,354MB by 1/3 and keyed that number in as the size. I had to backspace over the 1 that was already there to get rid of it. Then having finished up that partition I repeated the process after having gotten back onto the slash partition and created the /home partition with 1/2 the space that was originally in that slash partition. If possible could some of you try this method out and see if it's any easier? If so, it may be useful to update the howto's disk druid section _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup __________ NOD32 2399 (20070714) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
