Now I have an even bigger problem. I have gone thru the netinstall of 9.8.0 at least 5 times. 1st time failed for unk reasons, but would not reboot. 2nd time I let the partitioner have its way on a 2T drive wiith a separate /home, so it gave / 30GB and and about 17 gb to swap, the rest to /home. That rebooted, but 30GB for / is about 100GB too small by the time I move my data. So the next 3 times I've manually given / 500 GB, some swap, and the rest as /home. Won't boot, does not even look at the drive, just sits there forever with a blinking cursor. So just how the heck am I supposed to install stretch on a 2T drive? Seems like a heck of a good question people... Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
