[mythtv-users] Stupid Newbie Question about Linux

I think they don't have it in there new version anymore.  I also did the
lower case "l" It acts like it reads the file just doesn't give me the
option to choose.  And I have installed that first part probably now
about 20 times :(

I didn't use a capital "L" when I did it a couple of weeks ago. Did

linux jfs

and did manually partition disk, which gave me the option of jfs.
Aditionally I created a logical volume (LVM, have 2 disks in the system,
with the OS, swap, etc on disk one with the remainder of disk one and
all of disk two in the logical volume) which I mount over /usr/local
then I just created a directory, /usr/local/video for MythTv. Below are
the results of 1) mount command and 2) df command from my box. Hope this
helps some, David


1)

[root at myth ~]# mount
/dev/hda2 on / type ext3 (rw)
/dev/proc on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw)
/dev/devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/hda1 on
/boot type ext3 (rw) /dev/shm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on /usr/local type jfs (rw) none on
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
automount(pid1990) on /misc type autofs
(rw,fd=4,pgrp=1990,minproto=2,maxproto=4)
automount(pid2025) on /net type autofs
(rw,fd=4,pgrp=2025,minproto=2,maxproto=4)

2)

[root at myth ~]# df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
