hi all - i'm "this close" to install the heron but i'm a little uncertain about the options given in manual partitioning mode. clarity is much appreciated -- or if someone found a similar post, pls redirect me!
i want to set up a /boot partition. i have a separate /boot now after grub error 18 occurred on installation of 7.10... do i use "EFI boot partition" as the use-as? (what is "EFI"?)
i'm setting up "/"10gb -- "/boot"100mb -- "/swap"1gb -- "/home" gets the rest ...am i missing something?
primary and logical... oh, my. i should remember this stuff, but i'm not sure. what gets what?
things used to be hdb0...hdb3 (or whatever). this time around i'm seeing sda or similar(?) what gives? am i looking at the wrong thing?
thanks are many.
