Hello.. How do I (or, can I) activate the G partition?
Im using GentooX home 3.0
I'm pretty new to this whole linux thingie,,
so is it like mount /dev/hda56 or what?
anyhow- Thanks for a great release

hmm.. I think that tut is for making a native g installation.. I just want to mount the G just like E and F are =)

first create a mount point

Code: Select all

mkdir /mnt/fatx/g

then mount the partition at that point

Code: Select all

mount -t fatx /dev/hda56 /mnt/fatx/g

to make the partition mount on startup edit your fstab file

Code: Select all

nano -w /etc/fstab

then copy the line for the f drive changing to hda56 and /mnt/fatx/g
