PRO-PROJECT CONTINUED

doing what i sadi would make the first partition a swap that is 100MB.

then after that make a 900MB /
then a /usr 1.2GB on hdb

quote:Originally posted by Master of Reality / Bob:
so you have an hda and an hdb.
first make the swap on the first drive...
# cfdisk /dev/hda
: n
: p
: 1
: +100M

(i think that is correct)

i forot to add... after making 100MB partition change it to swap by:
: t
: 82

[choasforages]

i would recomend installing everything on the first drive, then stuffing wine's virtual c:\ on /stuff

right now it shows the following things under the following categories:

Name   Flags   Part Type   FS Type   (Label)   Size (MB)
hda1   Boot    Primary     FAT16     (DISK1PART01)
1081.7
               Pri/Log     Free Space
   2.0


What do you want changed/added?

would you want it to be a vfat partition too?

[choasforages]

no no no no no/*choas bangs head into wall*/

make a directory called /stuff
mount the other harddrive on /stuff using a linux partition format
and chmod it to 1777

and change the wine config to put everyhting in there, like a g: drive,

Delete that partition, then create a primary ext2 partition that uses all the available space, then create extended partitions for swap (reccomend 128 Mb.), 500 mb /user, and the balance would be ./ (root).  Then write the partition table.

[Master of Reality]

if you make the all available space a partition you have no room for the swap....... Debian doesnt use slices like BSD does, does it?

No, but you can create an extended partition for swap, Linux recognizes that.

[Master of Reality]

if you fill all available space with an Ext2 then there wont be any room for an extended partition.

SON OF A @!#$%.

I just got a phone call and have to go troubleshoot my best client's system.  Of course it's a fuckin' Winders system....WHY THE HELL ELSE WOULD IT CRASH ON A SUNDAY NIGHT!

Can we resume tomorrow evening around 6:00 CDT?  I am not "on call" tomorrow night so we should not be interrupted.

Getting a service call on a Sunday night really PISSES ME OFF, but there is nothing that I can do about it if I want to get paid.

Please solidify (by agreement) the partition sizes and names.  I will try to have that done when I log back in tomorrow night.

Till then....

As I'm positive Sleeping Dog is about ready to strangle someone right now, I suggest we all back off a couple of steps; Debian is a pain in the ass to set up partitions in, and even though SD has made this a Democratic install, everybody has expressed their ideas; lets let the poor bastard alone for a bit.
SD, we'll check back; if you need us, ASK.

[Master of Reality]

what about this for a partition scheme?:
hda1 swap 128MB
hda2 / 950MB
hdb1 /wine-c (isnt this what choasforages wanted??)

It would work fine, but if the system crapped out (they do that, you know) having apps you don't want to loose on another partition might save a lot of time on a re-install; that's why I suggested a /user partition.

"s OK with me, but I'll be at work; I don't think you'll be needing me, so go ahead, you've got a pretty good crew helping you out; I'm sure everything will come out fine.
