DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: User friendly HDinstall

friedgold,
Ask a novice to choose between ext & ext3 and you'll get a blank, I think. What?

Also.
I might be completely wrong, but I have a thought in my head that 'journalized ext3,' is still in a 'development' stage, so I opt for ext2.

P.s., please, if possible, give 2 minutes to look at my question, "make command," posted in HowTo's.
andyp.

friedgold,
Just thought I'd mention, I downloaded sysresccd (advice from Fedora Bible,) in order to use qt_parted.
I am not knocking sysresccd, but the qt_parted did not work.

I booted Gnoppix (I added "xmodule=fbdev fb1024x768," more or less, I doubt a complete novice could do that,) and in the end, I used Knoppix live CD.

I wasn't going to blow my money, and have to install Partition Magic, on Windows (like it's a program you use often.)

I was pleased with qt_parted on Knoppix live CD.

The parted.dsl extension works the same way as qtparted,
without the fancy QT-GUI interface..

It will accomplish the same thing,
without needing to bootup knoppix.

Ke4nt1,
Good morning and Best Regards,
andyp.

I read that Reiser is technically older than ext3, yet there are still bugs in it.
