[CentOS] free space created during partitioning while installing CentOS5.5
I installed CentOS5.5 on Dell Inspiron N5010. During partitioning, when I created swap = 6GB then additional 4MB free space was created and when I created ext3 for linux=217GB, then additional 7MB free space was created. Didn't understand why these 2 extra free spaces were created. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
