Hi, I can understand the idea of cutting out part of the messages when I answer. But this is now forcing me to repeat many times...

So it will install my system on one partition (/) and by using a RAID-0 (Mirroring) over my 3 disk ( 3 x 2 TB). > Maybe you can make the desired changes without reinstalling by > debootstrap. But if that's necessary, at least we'll understand what > it is that you want to achieve with that. I would like to have my system running on different partition for home, usr, var, tmp, etc... This is a safe route to prevent some problem (such as filling up a partition that risk trashing the system). Even if there would be a solution without doing my own re-install, I want to be able to do so myself. That is, install a system by mounting the partition, doing a debootstrap and chroot after, plus installing GRUB. This is the first time I have to install a system using GPT with BIOS so I'm not sure how does it work with the BIOS boot partition. Do I simply create this partition and GRUB will detect it ? If not, how do I tell GRUB ? Also, does simply running debootstrap is enough to have my *initrd* created ? I presume I must install a kernel "post" chroot... Regarding the network configuration, I'm a bit lost with systemd.... > > Cheers, > Andy > Hope this give you more information on what I'm trying to achieve. -- Polyna-Maude R.-Summerside -Be smart, Be wise, Support opensource development
