<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 <ctl><alt><F2> console and can not find parted, only fdisk...

</I>><i> The base approach is to cpio first a list of packages (the minimal one
