Finally did all the test ... I found that Jeremy removed the "test" version of FDISK 1.3.0 beta from his website. My copy is downloaded last week, the version still shows "1.2.1-k".

Thank you very much for your test procedure! Test with kernel 2035_32(unstable) and 082 pl 3ak xms_swap, will try the latest from Jeremy, last test it's working fine. Conclusion: 1) FDISK 1.2.1 UI have bugs, command line OK 2) FDISK 1.2.1-K not working Rgds, Johnson. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
