On Debian/Ubuntu/Knoppix machines, both the packages 'util-linux' and 'fdisk-udeb' provide a tool known as _sfdisk_; use any of these at your own risk. It OTOH, could be quite dangerous in hands of a novice, so you been warned ![]() -- Dr Balwinder S "bsd" Dheeman Registered Linux User: #229709 Anu'z Linux@HOME (Unix Shoppe) Machines: #168573, 170593, 259192 Chandigarh, UT, 160062, India Gentoo, Fedora, Debian/FreeBSD/XP Home: http://cto.homelinux.net/~bsd/ Visit: http://counter.li.org/ |

You will use fdisk to create the slice (ad0s1 for example), then disklabel to subdivide it into partitions (ad0s1a, ad0s1d for example). The individual partitions will then be formatted with a file system, and mounted to different areas of the overall file system tree. For example, ad0s1a would be your "/" (root), ad0s1d might be your /usr, etc. If you are new to this you might find it easier to begin (as root) in /stand/sysinstall and choose the Configure option, inside which you will find Fdisk and Label menu choices which start fdisk and disklabel. If you don't know what you're doing and it's a blank disk there are "automagic" options which make suggestions for you. If it's not a blank disk and you value any data on it *backup* first! You make one little error and stuff goes *poof* quick! -Jason |
