All It might be worth putting a swap partition on anyway, especially if you use SCSI disks where the controller can cope with interleaved accesses. > I want is one directory (/), not an entire filesystem (I understand a > filesystem to mean / and swap at the minimum and preferably /usr). Am I > going about it the wrong way? If so, what's the right way? No, I think you're going about it the right way. Unfortunately, the necessary work to convert sysinstall into a user-friendly disk-adding device is still going on. I wrote the FAQ entry just before 2.1.5 came out, based on what worked in 2.1.0. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work in 2.1.5 :-( If anyone has successfully added a new disk using 2.1.5's sysinstall, I'd be interested in hearing about it.
