Something is shutting the stretch system off in about 5 minutes of mouse or keyboard inactivity, so I've had to recompose an install list and restart synaptic 5 or 6 times now. Then, to add insult to injury, the default system partition it sets up during the install for /, when you ask it for a separate /home, on a 2 terabyte drive is 30 GB. Hell's bells, my amanda database alone is 70GB, and its a backup of /usrlocal/etc/amanda and /usr/local/var/amanda! So I makes no sense to have less than 500GB for the / partition. I have never had ant great success at pre-partitioning a drive, the installer never accepts what you so carefully lay out with gparted, and the SOB uses so archaic a syntax you never know exactly what you have until the install is done, but I've got to try one more time if I can't get gparted to move stuff around and make it work. Right now I've wasted 14 hours on this and have yet to see a tde login. I've got some tde stuff, but its all sitting on a gnome screen. Grrrrr. Later, as in sometime tomorrow IF gparted can fix it. > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > trinity-users-unsubscribe@...
