I have this sinking feeling in my stomach that I need to blow away |
| 15 |
the install (after scp'ing config files to my desktop) and start over. |
| 16 |
There is no room for another partition. Apparently, using fdisk (like I |
| 17 |
did) to partition a GPT system is begging for problems down the road. |

After 20 years on linux, I've been reduced to a newbie. BIOS boot, |
| 20 |
Lilo, and fdisk served me well for 2 decades. Now I'm going to have to |
| 21 |
learn UEFI, grub, and parted all at once. I'll start a new thread |
| 22 |
tomorrow once I have my config files copied off. Then I'll install UEFI |
| 23 |
mode properly. |
