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=20 view and modify partitions I picked yes. Third, I got onto the big = slash=20 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=20 easier? If so, it may be useful to update the howto's disk druid = section _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@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
