The end of that SHOULD indicate /dev/hdb17 392 MB ext3, /dev/hdb18 6.1 GB ext2, /dev/hdb10 1019 MB ext3 and /dev/hdb20 at 1004 MB as ext3. Mandrake 8.1 (2.4.8-26mdk), Debian 2.2r5 and Mandrake 8.2, soon to be replaced with final. The more stable of these two Mandrake distros (for me) is definitely 8.1. 8.1 is as stable as Debian with the 2.2 series kernel and almost as stable as Solaris on Alpha or VMS on Alpha). 8.2 is probably stable enough but there's not enough value above 8.1 to make me want to migrate all my stuff. We'll see about 9.0. The box also has Win98SE to keep Diablo running for my teenage son :-) All partitions are working fine and visible under the appropriate system to the extent that would be expected. That is to say, FAT32 partitions are visible from any OS. ext2 and ext3 visible from all Linuxes. ReiserFS visible only to Mandrake (i.e. not to Debian with stock 2.2.5 kernel.) VIA Apollo IDE controller on the PCI bus, Model VT82C586 Running at UDMA 33., limited by the Quantum disk. Anyway, that's probably more info than you wanted. Dave
