Date: Tue, 29 May 2001 10:18:28 -0600 Sender: bame@riverrock.org List-ID: There are a couple of possible problems. If your disk is bigger than 2Gb you will need at least palo-0.89 to initialize it on a 32-bit box. palo-0.90 is currently in the debian archive and is a good choice. The palo -U (or --update-partitioned) is not well tested and may not work at all. The best way to use and re-install palo is to put the right commands in /etc/palo.conf (be sure to read how to do this properly). Then you can simply re-run 'palo' at any time safely. You can also re-run the command you used to install palo the first time. > That is why at the beginning the only solution I found was to reformat the > disk (fdisk) and reinstall from scratch. > And I forgot that I have to report this problem and just keep in mind > (abusively) that to reinstall command line (or other parameter) I have to > reformat all my disk. I hope you'll have better luck with palo-0.90!
