Yes, I have tried to make a none automate install but also I have installed SL in two desktops with automate options on entire hard disk because I am using SL on two dual core machines for running parallel programs with lam/mpi. Now I am not trying any more for installing SL on my laptop because I have a lot of data on laptop, that I don't want to loose if something goes wrong. -----Original Message----- From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Ioannis Vranos Sent: Saturday, February 17, 2007 9:24 PM To: George Markomanolis Cc: 'Scientific Linux Users mailing list' Subject: Re: SL on Mac There are many options inside SL too, and definitely there are people here that know much about these stuff. Recently I resized my LVM2 volume from two hard disks to one, but it is an unsafe operation. I suppose you have lvm2 volumes for / and swap too and one partition for /boot (these are the defaults, I think).
