Hey,
Speaking of chasing down pieces of the install... I was wondering if
anyone has any recommendations for reformatting my YDL partitions so I can
re-install and do an `Everything' install. I don't want to use the disk
tools on the MacOS side because I want to retain my HFS partition, but
when I booted off of the Tasty Morsels CD, I couldn't find pdisk or any
other tools for reformatting. I would have just run through the install
process again, but the installer dies when I try to redo the partition
table (I tell it to remove the ext2fs partition, swap, and bootloader, and
then re-add them and click save). I also tried just choosing an Everything
install to see if it would install over my Developer Workstation install,
and after lots of messages about packages being installed it froze. Any
ideas?
Thanks,
Mike
PS I don't think it is the CD that is bad, because Terrasoft replaced it
about a week ago, and I think it came from a good batch.
