PUT YOUR INFORMATION AT RISK.
Not MAY, it WILL. Over Parts 1 and 2 we configured our drive with the appropriate partition sets. Now it's time to actually put Mepis onto our hard-drive. 42: We should now be back at the Mepis Install screen. Make sure Custom Install on existing partitions is checked.  43: Left Click on Next  44: Our /root partition has again defaulted to the NTFS partition  45: We need to change our /root partition to be sda5  46: We also need to go ahead and specify sda6 as our /swap partition.  47: Our /home partition needs to be set to sda7  48: If you want to change the filesystem at this time, you can. I am just going to leave the filesystem on ext3  49: When ready, Left Click on Next  50: Mepis will confirm the format on sda5. Left Click on Yes  51: Left Click on Yes to confirm the formatting of sda6 for the /swap partition  52: Left Click on Yes one more time to confirm formatting sda7 for the /home partition.  53: Depending on the speed of your system, this next part could take a while.  54: Eventually Mepis will ask about the Grub install method. You should not need to change anything in this box. Left Click on Next  55: Mepis will ask for confirmation. Left Click on Yes.  56: Wait for Mepis to confirm the install of GRUB. Left Click on OK to continue.  57: You can now choose some of the services to run with Mepis.  58: When ready Left Click on Next  59: Mepis will now ask for the Network Information. When Ready, Left Click on Next to continue.  60: Mepis will now ask about the Keyboard and locale information. When Ready, Left Click on Next  61: Mepis will then ask for the Default Username and passwords. When ready, Left Click on Next to continue.  62: Alright, our install is finished.  63: Left Click on Finish then Reboot  64: We've dropped back to windows to show the Computer Management screen again. The full size of the drive is now seen and Windows can detect there are partitions there.  I need to see the Logical Partition again, that was Part 1? I missed something in creating the install partitions, they were Part 2? Take me back to the Guides. |
