A newbie partition question
First of all be patient and thnk in advance :)
I'm still trying to install a Debian Potato 2.2 on a 5500/275/64 with a
PPC603ev and eventually I succeed ;) Nevertheless I'm having some troubles
with the step of partitioning, 'cause I'm asked numbers of length/base and
I'm not exactly a technician :)
I've found a tutorial on the Debian manual for PPC with this pattern
Partition map (with 512 byte blocks) on '/dev/ide0.0' (/dev/hda)
#: type name length base ( size )
1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1
2: Apple_Driver_ATA*Macintosh 54 @ 64
3: Apple_Driver_ATA*Macintosh 74 @ 118
4: Apple_Patches Patch Partition 512 @ 192
5: Apple_HFS iMacHD 9510006 @ 704 ( 4.5G)
6: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 Linux 3145728 @ 9510710 ( 1.5G)
7: Apple_Free Extra 10 @ 12656438
Device block size=512, Number of Blocks=12656447 (6.0G)
DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0
Drivers-
1: @ 64 for 20, type=0x701
2: @ 118 for 33, type=0xf8ff
Okay so far, but what about the swap/boot/linux partitions?
Where can I find a tutorial step by step for cfdisk to correctly partioning
my hd? I have 3GB free.
Sorry for the lenghtness, I hope I have been clear.
Thank again,
Carlo
