Someone mentioned doing this.... I tried mounting /dev/hda2 but I must be doing something wrong, I don't know linux too well so I assume something is wrong with how I'm mounting...

mount -t ext2 /dev/hda2 /programs

VFS: Can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev ide0(3,2).
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda2, or too many mounted file systems.

I think this just means that there is no filesystem on that 32 mb drive/partition.... how do I format it so there is?

You'll need to run mke2fs with -N 50000 to get enough inodes for all of the questions though.

You might also want to check out the "/programs and preinit - the easy way" thread in this forum. I'm working on a script to automate setting this up.
