manual install howto

[Al - image hosting services <azick%zickswebventures.com@localhost>]

Hi,

I would like to do an install without the installer, so that I can put var
and usr on their own drives. I can't seem to find documentation on how to
setup the drives for i386. I have done many manual installs on other
platforms and this never seemed to be an issue. Could someone point me in
the right direction?

Please be sure to CC me because I am not on the i386 list.

Thanks,
Al
