I dealt with this in the following way previously. It relies on the partitions for the main OS install being contained in the first 137GB. I had a 180GB disk and wanted most of it to be /home, which I could add as a separate partition later. 1. Install Woody, creating partitions for /, /var, /usr, ... whatever, in the first few gigs of the drive; 2. Once Woody is running, upgrade the kernel; 3. You should now have a kernel suitable for large disk support 4. Partition your large partitions, add to /etc/fstab etc. Dave. -- Dave Ewart - davee@sungate.co.uk - jabber: davee@jabber.org All email from me is now digitally signed, key from http://www.sungate.co.uk/ Fingerprint: AEC5 9360 0A35 7F66 66E9 82E4 9E10 6769 CD28 DA92
