I have an old Redhat 6.2 system with kernel 2.2.14 on it from the year 2000. I am bringing it out of retirement and am switching to Debian. I need some advice. The system has two IDE hard drives on it configured like so:
/dev/hda3 1.4G 923M 484M 66% / /dev/hda1 23M 3.4M 19M 15% /boot /dev/hda4 17G 14G 3.7G 79% /home /dev/hdc2 19G 11G 7.6G 60% /extra I don't care about dual-booting, but I want to preserve the existing directories on /dev/hda for the obvious reasons.... home directories has all my stuff in it and usr dirs has a lot of usr/local stuff, etc. So I would like to install Debian on /dev/hdc, now known as the /extra drive, and mount hda to access home, etc. I don't care about wiping out the contents of /dev/hdc2 (/extra) because it was just a backup drive anyway. Because I have not ever used the Debian install program and I understand it's not as easy to use as Redhat's (sorry, don't mean to demean Debian)... I would appreciate some advice in advance so I don't screw things up. If you could kindly email your reply as well, that would be great. And thanks in advance for any thoughts. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
