Re: BSD

[Rob Hunter <robh at uunet.co.za>]

Hi

During the installation there's an option to label the disk with the
various partitions, like /, /usr and a swap filesystem.

Did you choose express or custom? I don't know where it asks for it
during express, but if you go to custom, there's "fdisk" and "label"

Use fdisk to partition, and then "label" to create the "labels"
(partitions).

There's an option for Auto if you're not sure how much you want.

Regards

One Unix to rule them all, One Resolver to find them,
One IP to bring them all and in the zone to bind them.
