Re: (newbie) Installation interruption or impatience

["C. Ridout" <archae13@qwest.net>]

Clarification -- the ps -ax command worked -- now I am back to my original
question -- How long do I wait with the cursor flashing for this thing to
finish initalizing the swap partition?  It has been about an hour, so it may
be just a bit of impatience on my part.

Additional info:
Linux native partition starts at sector 0
Linux swap has a -q flag on it (?)
whole disk is only other partition

Am able to 'ls' and look at read-only file system, though I haven't tried to
move around in it.

probe-scsi returned normal -- as far as I can tell (and that is'nt a very
long trip) all of the settings are correct.
