Problem with guide

[r4z0rz]

Hi,

Before i start, this question is probably going to seem really retarded to most of you.

The installation guide says that you are meant to create new partitions using the fdisk /dev/sda n command.
It states what to enter (cylinders) while what i am given are sectors and first one starts at 2048, what am I meant to put in?

no problem

some version of fdisk seem to use as default setting sectors
Just give command "u" (without quotes) when you have startetd fdisk, that will switch it from sectors to cylinders, using it once more will switch it back

Point (f) of the guide.
I suppose there is an error on this line:
dd if/dev/sdb of=/media/USB/mbr-lacie-is500.img bs=512 count=1

Should be in this way, right?
dd if=/dev/sdb of=/media/USB/mbr-lacie-is500.img bs=512 count=1

In any case a really goooood job!
