See the /proc/partitions content for a list of it. I have a burtal prep-installer who does this, I didn't yet check the partman-prep stuff, since strangely it doesn't work for me. > it with "preptools" from Leigh to make it aware of root=/dev/sda3.

But as long as you chose the / partition to be partition 3, it should be ok. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
