This newby actually completed the basic installation to hard drive several days ago, thanks to David McNab's (nz) fine clear HOWTO. While cfdisk gave no trouble (hda1 stayed with win2k, I also configured seven more (logical) drives, hda5 to hda11). It appears that I only got names on boot, root, and swap. I never saw an opportunity in setup to name the other 4 (usr, var, home, temp), so I guess setup ignored them.
Q. (1) How does one now check partition setup?
(2) Can one name these partitions now ?
(3) How to check a partition"s contents ?
(4) If, say usr partition is empty, how does one move usr directory into it without wrecking system?
