No argument that this has little to do with the original topic, but there has been a natural evolution of discussion. People talk about the things that are interesting to them, and certainly this is not off-topic for gentoo-user in general. And I've yet to see any flames in this conversation - just some discussion, and not really much spirited disagreement. Really, your post is the first aggressive one in the thread thus far. > Was and is very much information related to the poster's original question. > Section 4 of this aforementioned reference does discuss SSD partitioning > issues, which was and is at the heart of the poster's question, which has > had to migrate to a new thread because folks don't stay focused on the > user's needs and questions?/. So, your comment here is actually off-topic to the post your replied to, which had nothing to do with SSD partitioning. It would have been more appropriate to reply to somewhere else in the thread... :) There have been a total of 2-3 posts about Arch in this thread, and this has hardly necessitated creating a new thread. I don't get the impression that creating a new thread was a conscious decision here. In any case, a little side conversation has little to do with somebody's system not booting. -- Rich
