Hi
Ok installing FC2 Test1 in Custom mode and choosing Disk Druid.
I have /dev/hdg (80Gb HD) which is completely empty.
New /boot 40 Mb --> /dev/hdg1
New SWAP 1024 Mb --> /dev/hdg2
New / 300 Mb --> /dev/hdg3
New LVM PV 55000 Mb
and I get:
/boot /dev/hdg1
LVM PV /dev/hdg2
SWAP /dev/hdg3
Extended /dev/hdg4
/ /dev/hdg5
Why is the LVM PV created in /dev/hdg2 instead of /dev/hdg5?
Also is there a way to indicate the partition must be created as a
logical one in the Extended primary partition.
Ideally I want:
/boot /dev/hdg1
Extended /dev/hdg4
SWAP /dev/hdg5
/ /dev/hdg6
LVM PV /dev/hdg7
I don't see any way to do that at this stage of the installation (except
if I use fdisk before starting the install process to create these
partitions the way I want)
The "Force partition to be created as Primary" tick box does not seem to
have any effect...
Finally, why is the minimum recommended size by for /boot 75Mb? It seems
quite a bit too much for /boot
Thanks.
