Perhaps that was it, I used qtparted and thought it did format the partitions automagically. But then it crashed and after reboot I ran reiserfsck and it found corruptions. So I now gave it a new try, I recreated the partition(s) with cfdisk (as I use to, no shitty QT apps ;), rebooted and mkreiserfs'd it. mkreiserfs explicitly says "ATTENTION: YOU SHOULD REBOOT AFTER FDISK" which I didn't do last time! (perhaps the installer should handle this, or at least warn about it?) And now everything seems to work (it's running ProfileInstall right now...) >> BTW, which filesystem is considered most secure (in an >> anti-crash-or-dataloss kind of way), reiserfs or ext3 or something other? >> > You may not ask such questions.

Perhaps there's another fs that is better though. I've been using reiserFS the last 3-4 years without problems too... So I might as well stick to it. -- /Jonatan - http://kymatica.com _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
