(^_^)  In each of these last two sections you have a root spec for /dev/sda7
(^_^)and /dev/sda8, is that supposed to be like that?

If that question needs to be asked, then maybe it's not. I am not well
versed in the inner workings of Linux. :-(  Once the install finishes, I
can log on the system as a user and as root. I don't get it though
because sda7 is the swap partition. I don't think root should be linked
to that partition if I am correct, right?
