I placed an "E" in partition hard drives because my hard drive was already partitioned; the initial setup for this was absolutely transcendent, but I didn't format my partition and so I had to go back to the " Partition hard drive" menu item (since the installer didn't want to install on top of a semi-installed previous attempt). When I did so all hell broke loose. It doesn't seem as though the same menus/etc are used between the initial setup and what happens when you select the menu item for partition hard drive. I selected /dev/hda4 as my root, and then /dev/hda3 as swap, and in both cases I said "leave my partition as-is," but swap somehow got the idea that it should be mounted as /, and the installer complained. I then specified swap as swap space and it proceeded. These problems would have been avoided had the same setup been available as when the installer first goes through, I think. The real problem is what happened on boot-up. Here is the contents of /etc/fstab: # UNCONFIRURED FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM I blame this on the weird partitioner I got on the second run through as well. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.25 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
