Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Loop-Detect: 1 Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I had an older version of -stable and tried to install the -Current developer release image via my already installed -stable version. (I could boot from the cd, but then its kernel didn't recognize my CDROM drive.) So I proceeded with /stand/sysinstall, created a new partition, and labeled it, and then installed -Current from the CDROM source. But it went and overwrote my old partition instead of installing on the new partition. So I cvsup'ed back to -stable. Now I see that sysinstall has extra functionality. I am wondering if the latest sysinstall can deal with multiple FBSD partitions? If not, this seems like a very basic need that is not there. -- ----------------------------- The Numeric Python EM Project www.pythonemproject.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
