Re: Network Install bogs



I am sorry, what nunmber is that? I am looking at the "list codes", and I
am assuming its 5 - Whole disk, or 6 for SunOS stand.

My partition looks like this now:

/dev/hda1  r  1 8000 4031496 83  Linux Native
/dev/hda2  u  8001 8700 352296 82 Linux Swap
/dev/hda3     8701 17660 4515336 5 Whole disk
