I want to install Fedora to sdb. The boot should be ext2, but what about the swap? The root partition should be ext3. For instance: mkfs -t ext2 -j /dev/sdb2 would format the third partition? then, mkfs -t ext2 /dev/sdb0 mkfs -t ext2 /dev/sdb1 to format the boot and swap, respectively? Once things are formatted, can I mount the filesystems and copy some files over from Fedora 7 to the slave, sdb ? Or, do I have to install by booting a cd? here's what I have so far: [thufir@localhost ~]$ su - Password: [root@localhost ~]# [root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 1912 15358108+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 1913 1925 104422+ 83 Linux /dev/sda3 1926 9729 62685630 8e Linux LVM Disk /dev/sdb: 30.7 GB, 30750031872 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3738 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 14 77 514080 83 Linux /dev/sdb3 78 3738 29406982+ 83 Linux [root@localhost ~]# [root@localhost ~]# date Wed Jun 27 21:06:41 PDT 2007 [root@localhost ~]# [root@localhost ~]# thanks, Thufir
