DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Redundancy?



PARTED, FDISK, CFDISK, SFDISK?
Isn't this too many partition tools for DSL? :O

BTW, I think parted can not create ext3?
seems it's just me n you here... lol
Hello,

I guess I am confused about this Hard Drive install.  When I try to create the partition using sfdisk, it does not work.  Could someone explain the procedure for putting DSL ("the tiny penguin") on a hard drive?

I am fairly new at this, so could someone use step by step terms (i.e. sit down, breathe, etc.)

I enjoy the distro even though it uses the cdrom to start, but would like to use this exclusively on one of my computers.

Much appreciated,

Adam
Have you read the FAQ?

Try using fdisk /dev/hda btw, you might destroy your files if you do not know what ur doing.
I've found cfdisk to be the easiest to use.

and I agree with vhangell that it seems there are more than enough partitioning tools. But since they are small terminal programs, they can't be taking up that much space.
