I did name it pretty well. It is called "test" right now. lol Right |
| 22 |
now, I'm just having fun. The biggest difference so far is that I can |
| 23 |

| 25 |
the bifocal thingys. |

I'm getting this LVM thing down pat tho. |
| 28 |
|

cfdisk to create partitions, if not using the whole drive. |
| 30 |
pvcreate |
| 31 |
vgcreate |
| 32 |
lvcreate |
| 33 |

| 34 |
|
| 35 |

| 39 |
on LVM tho. :/ |
