Partly, you'd have to dig through the perl code under Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install. If you come up with a patch good, but I don't think I'm going to be able to devote any time to it, and I'd hate to risk breaking what's already there. > > > It's because your partitions are out of sequence. > > don't know how it happened !

I looked at the man page, and it's not a command line funtion. It has to be done interactively, so it's not practical to do from the installer. I suspect it might require a reboot afterwards also. > if I don't reorder my partitions, how can I install and have the right thing > at the right place ? > I don't know that you can. Diskdrake sorts them by the partition start point.
