Hi all, I have a 6gb slice on a 10gb drive. I want to make use of the unused 4gb by creating a new slice in it and mounting /home on it. If I use sysinstall in multi or single user mode it says: "ERROR: Unable to write data to disk ad0!" I have tried using the live cd but the keyboard map is wrong (I have no way of inputting a /) which makes it impossible to load sysinstall. How can I create a new slice? Also, will setting the mount point as /home automatically cause it to appear in the place of the symlink to /usr/home that is currently there or will there be something more that I have to do? Thanks for any help. Paul
