hey guys, Just got my copy of FreeBSD 5.1. Spent about an hour going through the BSD Handbook and preparing a Installation checklist.
ok here's my problem. I have a WD 40 GB HDD the primary partition is 10 GB, with the extended partition 28 GB.(the rest 2 GB is in WD's bank). OK , the extended partition has 3 logical drives. To create a slice for BSD, I resized one of the logical drives to free up some space. About 1.2 GB,cause that's all I can spare. When I run the installation through CDROM, and the point where I'm to creat the Freebsd slice,the new partition is not displayed in the "FDISK" utility. All I get is the primary (10GB) and the whole Extended (28 GB). The freespace I guess is "locked into" the Extended Partiton. Not sure though. Any workaround for this, or should I start with a new HDD. cheers, TH ===== "Love is control,I'll die if I let go I will only let you breathe My air that you receive Then we'll see if I let you love me." -James Hetfield All Within My Hands,St.Anger Metallica __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
