I got the disk partitions straightened out. With fdisk /sbin/fdisk /dev/hda n #add a partition Type Primary Number (1-4) 2 It sets the dimensions t #set the type ID in hex 82
w Now you rund /sbin/mkswap /dev/hda2 In /etc/fstab add a line for the swap partition. /dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 Everything came up alright with two partitions one file system and one swap. Now I still can't get the system to recognize my network card. It just won't do it. It's the only card on the box, an Etherlink III. I suspect that the card has a conflict with it's default settings. When Windows was running on the machine, Windows changed the irq and the address so there were no conflicts. When I installed RH 7.1 on the box, the install saw the info that windows had set up and used those to auto-detect. It can't do it now. I think 3com has a program that lets you set these things up so no conflicts exist. That's my next step. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 9:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Updating RH Linux 6.2 Ernest Ellingson <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on Friday, 31 January 2003 11:56: > Ok what do you do with Linux fdisk to add a logical partition to an > extended one?

BUT, disk druid should have been able to do all this for you from scratch. Maybe "it thought" you were trying to tell it to leave the extended partition alone for some other OS. I'd recommend you go back to the install from scratch option and reread the installation guide to check that you haven't left anything out. Is the etherlink III the only eth card on your machine? I have had some difficulties getting a second 3com card recognized automatically but that can be fixed later.
