Hi I've repartitioned my PowerMac G4 and partitioned as follows:

So far so good ..... woody is installed and running. However, when going through the sid install, it wouldn't initialize partitions 21 & 22 (/tmp and /home). However it let me mount them and continue with the install - I figured I could sort them once I'd installed sid. I've installed sid (base plus a few packages: aptitude, sudo, vim, exim4 and mutt) but I can't seem to initialise and mount these two partitions - I tried mke2fs -l /tmp -T ext3 but it didn't seem to recognise the partition (I've rebooted into woody to write this and can't remember the error exactly). Have I exceeded the maximum number of partitions? I'm only trying to mount 17 - 22. Is there a way of getting these two initialized, named and mounted or will I have to repartition with maybe just /, /usr and swap? Any help will be gratefully received ;) Regards Clive -- http://www.clivemenzies.co.uk strategies for business
