Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

rootfs 3.0G 1.8G 1.2G 61% /

/dev/root 3.0G 1.8G 1.2G 61% /

It didn't wipe them it simply doesn't see any other partitions I've gotten on a contact list and i'm e-mailling the developers to see whats going on..

Still at a stand still though :)

OH well if i already installed can i modify it or do I have to reinstall??

because under mount it doesn't see the rest of my partitions its like they don't exist

and under kdisdfree it doesn't show it

I've tried mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/stuff but when transferring files its starts to run out of disk space which is impossible since I have like 80 GB free. Oh well I guess I'll look a little more and probably go back to mandy

LVM?

I have tried reinstalling but to no avail I read on the forums that the next release candidate will have customize partitioning on it. But when it comes out is yet to be determined if too long I might go back to mandrake

Ok just a quick question I installed Yoper thought I would enjoy it BUT....... when trying to partition my harddrive into opt, usr, var,root,home and stuff yoper doesn't recognize all the partitions and crams everything in my root partition, does anyone have any ideas??? I subscribed to the user board and I haven't gotten a login yet anyhow lemme know if anyone has any ideas

Yoper is integrated with portage now, but I haven't gotten to install it yet maybe this afternoon

Well I've tried Gentoo, Suse, and Mandrake I figured it was about time for a different distro so I've chosen Yoper does anyone have any thoughts about it.

NOTE: There is nothing wrong with the other distros I like them very much but I'm just in an experimental stage. Soon ezroller is giving a older Mac and I will be installing Yellow Dog just to see what it's like

Gentoo does test your patience but nothing a drink and a cigarette can't fix. I personally like Gentoo although I have taken a break from getting some of the things to work. Good luck and if you need any help by all means please ask and if I can help I will although I'm not that far ahead of you 8)

I am noob and without cyberjackles help i would have never gotten through my gentoo install it took me quite a while

that being said I LOVE Gentoo and the X configuration was not too difficult for me....on the other hand my zip drive still doesn't work but no biggie i'll figure that out later

I say install X from scratch it's more fun

mount: special device /dev/sda4 does not exist

tried replacing sd4 with zipdrive

mount: special device /dev/zipdrive does not exist

got this

got cdrom to work i'm assuming the burner works also

but the zip drive is still giving me the must specify filetype error any ideas from looking at my fstab

mount /dev/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom

mount: you must specify the filesystem type

mount /mnt/cdrom

mount: mount point /mnt/cdrom does not exist

none of my cdroms or zip will mount

I looked in my fstab and saw::

/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 1

/dev/hda3 / reiserfs notail 0 0

/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0

/dev/hda5 /usr reiserfs notail 0 0

/dev/hda6 /var reiserfs notail 0 0

/dev/hda7 /home reiserfs notail 0 0

/dev/hda8 /opt reiserfs notail 0 0

/dev/hda9 /stuff reiserfs notail 0 0

/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0

/dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 iso9660 noauto,users 0 0

/dev/zipdrive /mnt/zip vfat noauto,users 0 0

anyhow mount won't work do you have any ideas??

I got it working and I even got everything working printers, eroaster, open office the only problem left is the cdrom, cd burner, and the zip once those are operational i will be done until the next project.

I guess i'll just search the forums for answers on the hardware, according to instructions cdrom and burner should me working.

anyhow thanks for all yalls help

CyberJackle funny you should metion another day another thread I have posted what I think is a serious problem and don't understand it on the gentoo forums any ideas???

That's typical I was going to go with Yoper before I went with Gentoo

By the CyberJackle I got the distro installed I left the office yesterday with KDE installing. Still having a little trouble with nvidia but hopefully I'll get it figured out

I really appreciate all you and tyme's help these passed two weeks you two have been my saving grace Thanks
