[Chris Watt]

OK, stuck!

Use As : Ext3
Mount Pont ????
Mount Options ????
Label ????
Reserved Blocks ????
Typical Useage ????
Bootable Flag ????

What do I set for each of those ????   or so I need to make a /boot
section,  etc. etc. and if I need to do each of those, what size do i
use for each?

cheers
