Hello,
I am attempting to build a Linux from Scratch (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org) system. One of the first things that they want you to do is set aside a partition solely for the purpose of build your custom system. The text can be found here http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/view/3.0/ch04-creatingpart.html Currently, I have a SuSE 7.0 personal installed and when I initially installed it they had me create one large partition. Now, after having read and played with my SuSE system, I know how wrong that is.
At any rate, I have a 30Gig hard drive with hda3 as the largest partition.
after running: fdisk -l at the bash prompt i get
Device Boot Start End Blocks ID System
/dev/hda1 * 1 3 24066 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 4 20 136552+ 82 Linux Swap
/dev/hda3 21 3649 29149942+ 83 Linux
I wish to create a 1Gig partition to start with. Any help, pointers, or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin :)
