I've looked at the kwik way and the Custom (for experts). If I use the "Allocate" menu I see the FDISK editor. What then? So far I've simply used "C = Create Slice"; then in the following menu I've labeled the slices. Which option in the screen/editor? Or how-to FDISK ad0s2 any other way? thanks, gary > > -- > -Chuck > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
