Correction: Merely plugging in discs changes _no_ /dev/sdX device assignments.

Personally, I always do partitioning and initial mkfs operations using whatever live-CD distribution I most have confidence in (currently Siduction), and then separately let the distro installer use the filesystems and disc layout thus created. But horses for courses. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] https://lists.luv.asn.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luv-main
