Hello there !

I am new to Linux, so please be patient with me... I installed Psyche in a P3 machine (asus motherboard) and 40GB Maxtor HD... it is a dual boot system with Windows 98... it installed good except the partitions, the diskdruid made the /boot /root and swap partitions but when I tried to create a new partition for /usr or /usr/local it told me it was not possible... the system is working OK but I have some 30GB free space that I would like to use.. oh yes, I installed the server version...
Sounds like you partitioned the whole drive, so there are no free partitions left. Normally, you want to setup your partitions when you install. There may be a cool utility that someone else knows about, but the only way that I know to repartition your root drive is to reinstall, and manually partition the way you want.



Another problem is that my network card is not being recognized (SIS 930) .. I have to activate it everytime I boot the computer... could it be a problem with my 3COM card that is also present in the machine ?
Look under the directory :

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and look for a file called ifcfg-ethX (where X is the number of the SIS930, probably either 0 or 1). There should be a line that says:

ONBOOT=yes

if not, edit/add it to the file.
