Hello commune,
I am a newbie to linux an this list so please tell me if i miss some point,
in telling you, my problem.
After a short stint with slackware, i went for red-hat 5.2 version on my
pentium. Initially, there was a single partition for linux, so this time i
went for 2 partitions - 1. Linux native 2. swap.
I deleted the single old partition with fdisk (it was /dev/hda2), created 2
partitions (native at 'dev/hda5' and swap at 'dev/hda6' - all this was done
from bootable CDROM. I need to mention one more thing, even though i named
these partitions as /dev/hda3 and /dev/hda4 resp, the partition prog named
them as above) and installed RH smoothly.
But then, after logging in, when i see the partition table, it shows
/dev/hda2 as "extended" (start of this partition same as native's) Also,
when i see /proc/meminfo, it shows 0 swap.
Whats going on with my install? Did i me(i)ss something?
Thank you all in advance - nB.
