Thankyou for your advice Cameron. Only trouble is i am new to Linux and don't know much about compiling a kernel with SCSI in it. In a worst case scenario i could always reload Linux from scratch and move the squid.conf and squidguard.conf, db and log files and give that a shot.
Silly question but is there a utility in x window that appears to work like Windows Explorer so i can just "click" on the Floppy Drive icon rather then use the Shell?

Problems are more likely from stuffing up the boot loader instructions. Make sure your kernel has SCSI compiled in - not as a module. Even going from hda to hde can be messy. I managed to mess up the lilo transition and had to rescue from boot floppy. If you really want to make it easy, how about just moving the the heavy traffic to SCSI, and keep a small boot/root filesystem on the IDE drive. That is probably more efficient than loading everything on one drive anyway. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Cameron Davidson, CSIRO Manufacturing & Infrastructure Technology Phone: +61 7 3327 4535 Qld Centre for Advanced Technologies Fax: +61 7 3327 4455 Technology Court, Pullenvale, Qld, 4069 PLEASE NOTE: To the extent permitted by law, CSIRO does not represent, warrant and/or guarantee that the integrity of this communication has been maintained or that the communication is free of errors, virus, interception or interference.
