Re: Problem with disk space
Thanks!!!
It sounds very good to me, i understand you perfectly, now, can you think of
any reason why in the BIOS i can see the 40Gb disk and when i'm going to
create the partitions, on linux, it only reads 8Gb?

(or will) be a problem.

small (< 20MB) Ext2fs partition with mointpoint "/boot" BEFORE the 8GB
point. Your root, usr, dev and whatever partitions you want to have can be
beyond the 8GB.
