1. redhat disk druid won't use 2nd disk
I have system commander on this system, and it's giving
me fits, as well, but....
when i try to install redhat 5.2 (the kind you buy
in the store--not downloaded) the *%$**&^* install
business claims hdd (i guess the zip drive) is not
ready, so i tell it to skip the disk, but then it
won't look at the second IDE disk i've put on the
machine.
i tried using fdisk, but i cannot decipher what
i'm supposed to be telling it--namely, are eacy
of these partitions things like /, /usr, swap,
or is it a "great big linux area" which will later
be chopped into /, /usr, swap....
disk druid won't let me highlight the second (hdb)
disk. i can arrow down to hda, but not hdb.
any way to deal with that?
i've had solaris installed on this disk, so i know
i can make the thing function properly. but yanking
the disk cable to do the install seems like it ought
not be necessary.
grumble, grumble.
