Hi,
I recently got X running and I'm having a strange
situation with the screen being "split" in any
resolution higher than 800*600. I can't think of
a way to more definitively describe it in words,
so I would like to capture the whole screen to a
graphics file (.jpg, .gif, whatever) and post it

How do make an ext3 root partition without a .journal

before using tunefs -j and then there is no .journal.
But how do you umount root? Do you need to do a mke2fs
