Please excuse this rudimentary question, but I have looked through the docs I could find for both Debian and RedHat Linux distributions without finding an answer.
How do I make a partition "Linux Native" or "Linux Swap" with the Solaris format command? I have a 400mb drive in a SparcStation 2. I let Solaris partition the drive like this (after some customization): Part Label Perm Start Stop Size ------------------------------------------- 0 root wm 0 967 340.31MB 1 swap wu 968 1150 64.34MB 2 backup wm 0 1150 404.65MB 3 unassigned wm 0 4 unassigned wm 0 5 unassigned wm 0 6 unassigned wm 0 7 unassigned wm 0 I tried half-heartedly to change the label on 0 to "Linux Native", but format says "Linux unexpected". When I try using the Debian or RedHat install programs, they say there are no partitions set as "Linux Native" so they cannot proceed. I was able to use mke2fs on one of the partitions under Debian, but I have no idea where to mount it after that to continue the installation. If someone could give me some pointers, maybe I can describe it better for people with an Intel-only background (like myself).
