Hmm... F9 is new to me...
1) I am planning to partition a 750GB drive as follows:
a) /media/vista 50GB ntfs primary
b) /media/w2kpro 50GB ntfs primary
c) /boot 200MB ext3 primary
d) -------------------------------- Extended
i) / 200GB ext3
ii) /media/wapp1 100GB ntfs
iii) /media/fapp1 150GB ext3
2) I downloaded F9 Gnome Live ISO and burned a CD,
booted up and started F9 installation.
a) Selected "Custom Partition"
b) Tried to create "vista" nfts partition but
there is no ntfs selection available in the
'File System Type' dropdown list, all I see
is 'vfat' So, at this point I selected vfat
and continued to partition to 50GB, primary.
c) Same with (b) above, but for w2kpro
d) Created /boot partition - but noticed that there
was a "switch" in the device - /boot became
/dev/sda1 instead of /dev/sda3 as I would have
expected. Why is that? Don't I get to say
exactly what device I want partitioned and in
what order? Ignoring this, I continued anyway,
hoping this will not screw up boot access to
'vista' or 'w2kpro'. So, I continued on.
e) Now, to create the 'Extended partition'? - hmm,
there is no 'Extended' in 'File System Type'
dropdown list - so where is it? What is 'efi'?
"Extended FIle system"?
Up to this point - I don't know what to do. Should I
choose 'Physical Volume (LVM)' instead and use this
pathway instead of the way I am going as planned?
Please advise?
Thanks-
Dan
