Nate, Actually, a bit bigger. But that doesn't matter as I made it 160 MB back when this system had 128 MB of RAM. It now has 192 MB. I feel terribly stupid at the moment. Excuse me while I re-partition. Thanks for pointing out the obvious! (Although I am confused by why it wiped the root partition which is BEFORE swap.) R.
