[SLUG] Harddisc's & partitioning.

[Ian Eade at IGM Web Design]

A quick way of recording what commands you've typed is to use the history
command, basically is prints out your last X commands (key strokes). You can
pipe this list to a text file and then review the text file later on,
history >> history_08-03-03.txt should do it

And me.  As you know.

Many thanks to Jamie, Gavin and Ian for getting a complete doughnut like me
on the right path. ;)

The only thing is, I can't remember how it was done.  I know I should have
written down the sequence of commands and the output from them, but I didn't
copy them as I should have.  Doh! :(

I know I used 'parted' with 'rm /dev/hdb' but I'm sure there was more to it
before the 'mkfs -t ext2 /dev/hdb' was issued.  I was hoping one of you
might be able to give me the correct sequence of commands to repeat this if
necessary.  To complete this thread for the archives, if nothing else. Or is
there a log file somewhere that I might find the details of what we did?

Toodle pip,
