I'm installing R6 from scratch using expert mode. I partitioned the disk as follows:
/dev/hda1 for / /dev/hda2 for swap /dev/hda3 for /home /dev/hda5 for /var /dev/hda6 for /usr During the partitioning, I went until hda3 and at the next I chose logical instead of primary in cfdisk. It then prompted with hda5, etc. Then I assigned hda2 for swap and formatted hda1 and hda3. When I tried to do it for hda5 it said it couldn't find it, so I tried with hda4 and it worked. I think it should have worked with the logical partitions. Then I tried to mount them. / and /home worked, but /var and /usr reported the error: mount: /dev/hda5 not a mount point cannot mount /dev/hda5 on /root/var Note that it says /root/var, but I only typed /var. There certainly is a problem with logical partitions, either in the software or in an insufficient description of differences between logical and primary partitions. The disk is a WD Caviar 2850 accessed through the motherboard IDE port. The mb is based on the Triton chipset. Ask if you need further info. Carlos
