This is interesting. I am starting a new install on my backup drive. I'm part way through the install, fetching all the KDE stuff right now. This is what I got from the little frag script: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # /root/fragck.pl /backup/ 0.953336175120985% non contiguous files, 1.02414182192021 average fragments. [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # Less than 1% is my starting point I guess. This currently has ext3 on it. I did start out with a freshly formatted file system. Also, this is all on one big partition at the moment. I'll post later what it says after compiling a few packages. I figure KDE should stir up something. LOL Dale :-) :-)
