It is trying to install everything on one hard drive. I want to distribute among three physical drives. /dev/hda1 / 1.6GB /dev/hdb1 /usr 1.6GB /dev/hdc1 /tmp 1.6GB What am I doing wrong?

Also, if they are separate harddrives, then they should be set up as hda, hdb, hdc....... /dev/hda1 / 1.6GB /dev/hdb1 /usr 1.6GB /dev/hdc1 /var 1.6GB cya l8r Leon McClatchey leonmcclatchey(a)homemail.com Otis Lamar wrote: > How do I install the complete suse 5.1 distribution (3.x GB) onto three 1.6 > GB drives?
