For a EFI based system it can be a little tricky. Let a distro do it the first time. gdisk is easier to use than parted. No, you don't need a FAT partition, but you do need a small (1 MB) grub partition. Keep ALL boundaries aligned with even MB to avoid possible problems. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
