Thanks guys: |
| 10 |
I was absolutely sure I had done this, and that's why when the df -h |
| 11 |
command didn't show me the drives, I thought I needed another command. I |
| 12 |
went back, using the up-arrow, and discovered (what we'll call) a typo. |
| 13 |
So now things are looking right. I've continued on from section 4e, |
| 14 |
doing the stages thingie before doing the portage thingie. 'df -h' now |
| 15 |
says that hda3 has 73G (but who is quibbling) and 941M used. |
| 16 |
Thanks again for the help, I'm sure I'll be back again with another |
| 17 |
problem, but I'll be watching my typing more closely. |
