- Hi,
- I have looked over the SLS installation instructions and the
- 15 disk set on the mit ftp site.
- I see that the first steps include:
-
- - Create a Linux/Minix partition with "fdisk" on your hard drive
- and reboot.
- - Make a file system on the partition with "mkfs".
- - Use "doinstall /dev/PART", where PART is your partition,
- to start the installation.
- For example "doinstall /dev/hda2".
-
-
- Does a swap partition get created with this type of installation?
-
- Thanks,
-
- Dan
