List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: I think I'm past the rawrite thing now, hence the subject change. I have a partition that windows calles d: and on the setup screen shows up as hda2. So far I understand that fine. That is where I would like to install Linux. As far as the mount point, if I understand you, all I need to do is type a / (forward slash), in the field for my root directory? Should I use the 'new' button to divide that partition up for the other partitions like the swap and others? Before you answer though, I should probably just read the Install guide and your HowTo. Especially if they are covered in there. While my mom is at the hospital, I won't have much time to play around with it. I'll keep your messages though so I can read through your input when I can get to it. thanks from Keith H. Dog Quote: 6.
