i think i messed up. now it does not ask for any partitions to be created and there is only one partition whcih it treats as swap. and then each time, it screams , that there is no solaris partition to hold the software. i have now managed to some how restart the re-install and i am at the prompt. but typing fdisk is making my head spin. how do i create my partitions. any web guide or URL ? these are the partitions i am planning to create , but how much space to be allocated to each, i have no idea. can anybody help ? / /bin /dev /etc /export/home /home /kernel /opt /proc /tmp /usr /usr/openwin /var/ /var/mail Arvind ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
