Here's how it went.
Reboot
console login root
fdisk /dev/hdc
n
p
1
partition already exists(I expected this)
n
p
2
no problem
t
83
a(don't know about this but what the heck right.)
mkdir /home2
mount /dev/hdc2 /home2
all kinds of errors(No file system, I should know that)
try typing mkext2fs
no such command
look for info on forum
look for info on internet
ahaa mkfs.ext2 /dev/hdc2
tons of errors to many files systems Blaa Blaa Blaa with a hint (partition not updated other file systems were mounted)
reboot
mkfs.ext2 /dev/hdc2
special geek code look like it worked
decided to try the shinny new linuxconf
filesystems/access local drive
add
partition /dev/hdc2
type ext2
mount point /home2
mount
success
open file manager
