Hi everybody, I've got yet another serious problem I found today: I've been using redhat 8.0 before installing debian woody. In redhat 8.0 I had the following partitions for linux:
/dev/hdb1 is root "/" /dev/hdb2 is swap /dev/hdb3 is /boot [ /dev/hdb4 is extended part.] /dev/hdb5 is /home /dev/hdb6 is /usr I kind of thought the debian system would use those as I replaced the old root partition with the new root system. I must say that was probably a silly idea (I'm not exactly used to managing system stuff) However, because none of the filesystems are "formatted" or, so-called "initialised", they contain redhat 8.0 stuff and can't just be mounted without any actions to make sure everything will go fine. I want to have /dev/hdb5 available especially as it contains all my files (though I've got a backup) I found I can edit on /etc/fstab but when I do it messes a lot.. One more related question: I've got a file to read "zip-discs" (discs which work kind of like floppies but can contain either 100 MB or 250 MB). On redhat 8.0 I could mount them just like floppies (or cdroms) but on debian it isn't automatically detected Please help !
