[debian-user] install with 3 partitions



Yall,

Following "Installing Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 For Intel x86
Chapter 4 Partitioning Your Hard Drive "

As recommended, I have layed down three partitions:
hda1 Primary, bootable 50MB ext2
hda5 Logical, 1GB ext2
hda6 Logical, 233MB swap

I want:
  / -> hda1
  /home, /tmp, /usr, /var, -> dha5

>From the Potato 2.2rev2 installer, I choose 
"Mount a Previously-Initialized Partion" after 
"Initialize a Linux Partition", but it identifies that there are no unmounted 
partions.  I tried to use "Initialize a Linux Partition" with 'other', 
multiple ',' seperated (guess) arguments, but the installer really did 
not like me then. Somebody must have a good way of doing what I am trying to do.

Best regards,
Lloyd D Budd
