Can anyone help with confusion about setting a root partition to install Linux?
I used Partition Magic to create partitions to be used for dual boot. The
first two partitions are for windows. I next created 4 partitions to use
for Linux Fedora 3. Here's what I have so far:
Size
/hda1 vfat 20007
/hda2 Extended
/hda5 vfat 10004
/hda6 ext3 103
/hda7 swap 797
/hda8 ext3 26726
/hda9 ext3 1004
Windows is using hda1 and hda5.
I intend to use hda6 for boot
hda7 for swap (RAM = 384 MB)
hda8 and hda9 for linux files
I used the Fedora 3 Core install cd and got to the part where partitions
are checked. I selected "Manually partition with Disk Druid" (rather than
automatic which would delete the existing Linux partitions and start
over). It came back with a message that said:
"You have not defined a root partition (/)..."
I had intended for hda6 to be the root partition but there doesn't seem to
be any way I can accomplish that with the options available from Disk
Druid. My question is - How do I define the root partition? In this case,
how to mark hda6 as root
Thanks
