You know to post from Google, do you know how to use their search
engine? Christ, just google your question, and you're in business.

Are you really too dumb to read the man pages?

Since you did not want to use the gui partition management tool for
your distribution, I'll suggest

http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...kage_id=173828

After creating and formatting, you add a line to /etc/fstab

and mount /name_here aught to work.

Knowledge doesn't come free - you either have to work for it by reading
some of the man pages, or doing a google search for some howtos, or
you're going to have to spend some money. I'd suggest you look at three
possible solutions:

1. Buy a book - something with a title like "Linux for beginners".
Visit a bookshop so that you are sure you get something that helps.

2. Pay for support from Suse (Novel) - they'll be happy to help out.

3. Find someone who knows about Linux, and offer him a few beers to help
you.


People in newsgroups like this offer free advice and help - but expect
*you* to do the work and show your interest. No one is going to
handhold someone too lazy to do some basic reading, and who rudely
demands detailed answers after getting helpful hints.
