Hi ,I want to "really" learn linux so I decided to go for gentoo .not ubuntu . So plz go easy with me :P
I used unetbootin In windows 7 to make a 4 GB live USB with gentoo minimal .
So I have a 120 GB disk 0 :
c:30 gb
d: 20gb
e:20 gb
f:20gb
h:25gb ...this is where i want to install gentoo and i found out using fdisk that this is sda6 .
I logged in and created partitioins as given i handbook all right and i got three sub-partitions:
/dev/sda6p1..boot
/dev/sda6p2 ...swap
/dev/sda6p3...root
and when as pr the book i went to create filesystem so i type "
#mke2fs /dev/sda6p1
mke2fs 1.41.9 [august 09] --no such file or directory
but! when i do :
#fdisk /dev/sda6
command : p
I get a partition table showing me the three partitioins so what`s wrong ??? I re-read the handbook yet I don`t get it .
Plz help guys
