The `auto' in disklabel is automatic (obviously :), and since the `c' partition is an implicit one, it will also show up immediately in step 2. The actual partition layout is, of course, your decision, and since step 3 depends on the partitions you've been creating in step 2, it's also non-automatic. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
