Just what do you > have under root? How did you format the rest? My SD card is not part of the volume group. The Eee PC 900 has two SSDs internally, one at 4GB and one at 16GB (for the Linux version). The root partiton only contains what needs to be there: /boot, /etc, /bin, /lib and /sbin. Everything else (/usr, /var, /home, /opt) is on the VG. $PORTAGE_TMPDIR and $DISTDIR and on a network mount. --=20 Neil Bothwick Sir!
