+<PRE>I'm trying to install MGA-2 on an 8TB logical drive provided by an lsi
+logic mega raid.
+
+is the install using fdisk or gparted to partiton the disk now-a-days???
+
+FDisk won't deal with more that 2TB
+
+I went to the &lt;ctl&gt;&lt;alt&gt;&lt;F2&gt; console and can not find parted, only fdisk...

+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I just checked Olivier's suggestion, ending up with some 270 packages...
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Well I *know* i can do better:

+</I>&gt;<i> bash-4.2# rpm -aq | wc -l
+</I>&gt;<i> 172
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> That chroot is made by a tool I'm developing to create build
+</I>&gt;<i> environments for multiple Linux distributions (supports Fedora, CentOS,
+</I>&gt;<i> Mageia, Mandriva, OpenSuSE, debian, Ubuntu). Cf: rpmbootstrap in Mageia
+</I>&gt;<i> (SVN at <A HREF="http://trac.project-builder.org/browser/devel/rpmbootstrap">http://trac.project-builder.org/browser/devel/rpmbootstrap</A> tar
+</I>&gt;<i> at <A HREF="ftp://ftp.project-builder.org/src/rpmbootstrap-0.12.1.tar.gz">ftp://ftp.project-builder.org/src/rpmbootstrap-0.12.1.tar.gz</A>).
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> The base approach is to cpio first a list of packages (the minimal one
+</I>&gt;<i> which allows urpmi to work) and then reinstall them running urpmi.
+</I>&gt;<i> List of packages is at:

+</I>&gt;<i> line 389/390.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> So I was hoping to get near that number after all. Of course a chroot
+</I>&gt;<i> doesn't require a boot loader, so all the packages brought due to the
+</I>&gt;<i> install of grub are creating the extra blurb.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> So I already have one mean to make it as small as possible. Now I'm
+</I>&gt;<i> working on another case, where I just use auto_inst. So I'd like to be
+</I>&gt;<i> able to use all the params available that could make me as near as
