Actually, fixing the order in fdisk will exchange what is now /dev/hdc1 (linux) and /dev/hdc2 (extended). Everything else remains in place. Could I assume that lilo could just as happily boot to /dev/hdc2 as it does now to /dev/hdc1 ? IF so, how safe is this change to actually save, change lilo.conf and reboot? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
