Hi
No, only "native" will format your F: partition. There are three install options:
This is taken from the install.txt coming with the distribution.

No, only "native" will format your F: partition. There are three install options:
Code: Select all
There are 3 installation types, 'E', 'F', 'Native'. 'E' is the traditional installation
where all the files are placed in E:\. 'F' places 'rootfs' and 'swap' on the F:\ partition but
leaves the other files in E:\ (required for Cromwell/ Xromwell support).
'Native' formats your F: partition to reiserfs and then extracts the rootfs to the newly
formatted partition.

I think we need an Ad banner, that says "read the manual", "harddisk will not be formatted if you read the manual" .
