so, i did it! i installed debian from scratch, woo-hoo! it's now installed, but not configured, so i still have half the work ahead of me ... but thanks to y'all and to debian, it was much easier than i'd expected it to be.
now my question is: during setup and installation, i partitioned off my hard drive into a swap partition /, /usr, /var, /tmp, and /home. i initialized the swap and the first three of the others, but then i stopped, and moved on to the rest of the installation. now i don't have /tmp or /home initialized or mounted. how do i go back and do this? what's weirding me out is, having created a user account for myself and logging in, `pwd` says i'm in /home/nori. how can this be, if i didn't initialize a /home partition? where on the disk am i? is this bad? i mean, i'm going to go back and initialize it and /tmp just as soon as i figure out how, but i'm kind of confused. tia, </nori> -- .~. nori @ sccs.swarthmore.edu /V\ http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/~nori/jnl/ // \\ @ maenad.net /( )\ www.maenad.net ^`~'^ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
