Post subject:  Linux Newb installation questions on manual install
I am trying to do a master backend knoppmyth manual install.

The reason I need to do a manual install is because of my hardware configuration.

I have a server that I am going to install the following.

9gig Ultra 160 scsi hard drive, on integrated ultra scsi 7890 RAID controller.

(2) 250 ide 7200 hard drive, ide 1
(1) DVD writer/reader ide 2

(3) PCHDTV cards
(2) PVR 250


(1) ATI 9600xt graphics card ( I plan to remove since I wont really need to run graphics or sound on the backend)

256 megs of RDRAM (plan to increase if i have to.)
1ghz coppermine processor

I booted off the knoppix cd and it ran the setup scripts. I did get some wierd errors on the IDE drives but it detected everything.

I selected the manual install option and ran the disk partition program.

It sees the scsi drive and the ide drives but this is where I have questions.

I read through the manual install guidelines but I am still not 100% clear on a few things.

The scsi drive will be sda1 with partitions for
/
swap

What else should I put on this and are they all physical and not logical?

For myth and all the video do I put this on the ide drives?
How do I setup the partitions If I want to use LVM ( to add drives later)
what file system do i use xfs, ext something else.

Can someone give me a step by step configuration for the drives and the proper partitions?

THanks

SO can't anyone help out.

This doesn't seem so difficult a request. Not like I am asking for modelines or HDTV frequency request. Yet

You are correct, they are not difficult questions and if in fact you have read the documentation as you stated you would not need to ask these sort of questions.

Let me give you two tips:

1. Search, read, Search, read and search some more b4 posting.

2. The program is called KnoppMyth and there is a great big difference between Knoppix and KnoppMyth.

Thanks for your time and little patient. :D
