Hey, sup everyone. Well im finally doing it! Im installing Slack, Ive been wanting to for awile now and feel like ive read enuff to do it. i tried to install last nite and got to the partitioning part and hit a snag! Im going to keep my existing parts and format them, they are boot/root/home/var/swap. This is what ive been running FC 2 in and it seems to work good. Well now for my problem, when i view my parts in CFdisk it only shows hda. I have a second 120 gig HDD for my Linux and all i can see is hda and i want to see hdb, I cannot remember the command to get to hdb, i know its somthing like /dev/hdb or somthing, can anyone help me out here?

I have not been using cfdisk but i just tried it and type "fdisk /dev/hdb" and that takes you into fdisk for that device. if you just type "cfdisk" it takes you into the first device by the looks of it.

rnicolson is on the right track. If you just enter "cfdisk", the command will default to /dev/hda, so if you want to look at other drives, you need to explicitly indicate them. For reference:

/dev/hda = primary master
/dev/hdb = primary slave
/dev/hdc = secondary master
/dev/hdd = secondary slave

Depending on exactly where you've installed your second drive, it may be hdb, hdc, or hdd. In any event, you just need to pass in the full device name, eg: cfdisk /dev/hdb -- J.W.
