Knx. 3.2: partition renaming
Following the kind suggestions of messrs. Cormier & Rickenbacherus:
1.a: Type mount, enter. Report:
/dev/hda6 on / type ext3 (rw.errors=remount -ro)
/cev/root.old on /initrd type ext2 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw.gid=5, mode=620)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevs (rw)
--------------------------------------------------------
normal?
----------
1.b: Type cfdisk/dev/hda, enter. Report:
My original partition schedule (as described above), appeared.
------------
2. I'm getting to this (slow learner). I understand you to mean that if I want the "mounts" to conform with my partition schedule, I must first edit etc/fstab, right? Is emacs my newbie weapon of choice here?
---------------
3. Did
cd/usr, enter, ls, enter. Report:
x1186 bin doc etc games include info lib local man sbin share src.
That tells me nothing about the partition, but tells me that directory /usr is not empty- right?
More later

I think you may end up with problems if you move all of /usr to a separate partition, usually people just put /usr/local on a separate partition, and programs installed form source (compiled) will be there. I had a system with parts of /usr on a separate partition and I had some errors booting, and I had to manually run a program or 2 after the second partition was mounted.
I always put / and /home on separate partitions and generally use a /store partition for mp3's, iso's, etc.

If you want all the partitions you made to show up in the mount command you have to edit the /etc/fstab and put entries in so that they will be mounted on boot. You could choose any editor you feel comfortable with it is just a matter of adding a couple of lines and saving the file so if you can do that with emacs then use it.
Yes the ls command showed the directory was not empty and everything was installed to hda6 and yes that tells you nothing about the partition only about the /usr directory on the / partition. If your /usr was on it's on partition then ls /usr would tell you what is in the directory and the partition because they are the same.
Rock is right you really do not need all those extra partitions (hda7-hda11) you should use cfdisk again and delete them and make either 1 or 2 partitions for your /home and maybe an extra for backups, mp3's etc...
My partitions are:
/swap
/
/home
/var/www - my web pages so I can share them among the three OS's I boot from.
/extra - mp3's, backups, iso, anything else also shared and on second hd.

Knx. 3.2: partition naming
Thank you, Stephen and Rock, for your advice. Simple is good. So following directions, I shall try to add a /home to the boot, root, and swap partitions already working....and report later.

Knx. 3.2: partition naming
Now I have been back in cfdisk and reworked my partition schedule. Now, Win 2k is on hda1, and logicals hda5,6 & 8 are boot,root,& swap. And #7 is for home. Cfdisk refused to let me assign "extended" filesystem designation to #7. I druther ext3.
Now: following Stephen's answer to my question #4:
I booted the Kpx CD. The KDE desktop showed all my partitions except #8 (swap). Is that normal ?
In console, typed: "sudo mount /dev/hda7 /mnt/hda7
Reply: "mount: you must specify the filesystem type"
Good ! But...please...how do I tell it "ext3" ?
Tia,
Chada

Swap does not show up. sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda7 /mnt/hda7. Have you created the file system on #7 if not
sudo mkfs /dev/hda7 - creates file system ext2
sudo tunefs -j /dev/hda7 - converts file system to ext3.
then mount the partition.

Knx. 3.2: partition naming
Having read Stephen's (April 10- 8.50 PM) :
Still fearful of breaking something: to the question- have I created the filesystem on hda7 ? Cfdisk shows under FS Type for hda7: "Linux" . Therefore, the answer is yes, correct ?
Then next: type your line which starts "sudo tunefs.."
Right ?
Next: type line starting: "sudo mount -t ext3.."
Right ? Then I think I can follow remaining advice.

Yeah looks good to me, after you do the turnefs you can check again if you want and you will see linux ext3.

Knx. 3.2: partition naming
After Stephen's post: Apr.11/12:45AM:
My dummheit's keeping you awake. Sorry !
With Knx. CD booted, in console, typed: "sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda7 /mnt/hda7" Reply:
"mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda7, or too many mounted file systems"
Then typed: "sudo mkfs /dev/hda7". Reply began: "mke2fs 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)", and then rolled out another 17 lines. Now I think for sure the filesystem is created on hda7.
Next, wishing to convert filesystemto ext3, typed: "sudo tunefs -j /dev/hda7". Reply:
"sudo: tunefs: command not found"
What next, o kind and patient one ?
