I am lost as a newbie

Hello,

I have some problem of understanding about rescue.img and boot.img

If a distribution is already installed, and I use rescue.img , is the filesystem
stored in RAMDISK ? can it be copied over existing filesystem?

Moreover , I use fdisk to partition the HD. okay Afterwards, I use mkfs to build
the filsesystem ... and afterwards, how can I
specify the mounting point associated to each partition? for example,  how to
specify that I want /dev/hda6 to be /home ?

Thanks in advance,

Jean-Sylvestre
