Hi! I have to apologize: I'm not used to mailing lists as I am able to solve the most problems myself or with the help of my good old friend google.
So here's some additional information: I'm using Lenny and got the kernel and initrd from http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ Setting /home to a max size of 1000000000 didn't work, but creating an additional primary partition does (a bit). I added: 512 512 1000000000 ext3 \ $primary{ } \ method{ format } format{ } \ use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \ mountpoint{ /foo } . Adding this not as $primary, but as $lvmok doesn't work, either. However: I end up with more than 3GB swap although I told partman to use only 1. Is there some program I can feed a recipe into and get what partman would do? greez Mario >-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- >Von: Svend Sorensen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Gesendet: Mittwoch, 23.
