So, I booted up a burned Finnix liveCD, but it doesn't have X so it is all text based. I had a hard time getting its network features working with a physical network cable (dmesg detected its manual connection) until I learned about its sudo dhcpclient command. Apparently, it doesn't get the IP address automatically. :( I ran its parted and saw http://pastebin.com/raw/JP2pqXds ... Disk managements and command lines aren't my strong areas. GUI helps a lot in this area. Do I use "resizepart 5" command? Thank you in advance. :) -- /\___/\ Phil./Ant(Dude) @ http://antfarm.ma.cx (Personal Web Site) / /\ /\ \ Ant's Quality Foraged Links: http://aqfl.net | |o o| | E-mail: phi...@earthlink.net/a...@zimage.com \ _ / If crediting, then please kindly use Ant nickname ( ) and AQFL URL/link.
