Configure and Mount Parititions question
Hello,
My name is Steve and I am using the Beta 2 debian-installer.
I have two hard drives on my system - one drive contains a Windows FAT32
partition, the other drive contains the Linux partitions I set up
through the Partition a hard drive step. I've configured those Linux
partitions with a filesystem type (and a swap partition) and where I
want the partition mounted.
The thing that concerns me is that the Configure and Mount partitions
screen shows my other hard drive with the FAT32 partition. My concern
is that because the FAT32 partition is listed, the installer will
recreate a FAT32 partition on that disk and overwrite the data I have
there. Is the installer actually going to do that, or is it just there
to say that the FAT32 partition will be mounted and added to /etc/fstab?
I could not find an answer in the Beta 2 or cvs INSTALLATION_HOWTO.
Should a screen show up before actually creating and mounting the
partitions that goes something like this?
[screen]
The following filesystems will be created (WARNING! All data on these
partitions will be destroyed!):
[Linux partition 1]
[Linux partition 2]
[Linux partition 3]
[Linux partition 4]
The following partitions will be mounted:
[FAT32 partition]
[Linux partition 1]
[Linux partition 2]
[Linux partition 3]
[Linux partition 4]
Ready to create file systems and mount partitions?
Go Back Yes No
[/screen]
If I saw this screen I would have no worries about my FAT32 partition.
Thanks,
Steve
