Damn I forgot to put the real important part.. <humour> http://www.hardware-one.com/reviews.asp?aid=153&page=1 I was ultra-careful. Disk partitioning time. I didn't know how to use this proggie called "fdisk", but that was normal. The command prompt said "m for help" so I did that. I did a little poking around. Then I said shit, this was cool. It recognized a HUGE number of other partition types. Operating systems I had never heard of in my life. It put the DOS/Windows fdisk to shame. And it showed you your WHOLE partition table! All the bits and bytes in it. And you could change the values however you wanted. </humour> Shridhar -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
