I think my version is 2.6.8. legner1:/# uname -a Linux legner1 2.6.8-11-amd64-generic #1 Sun Oct 2 22:11:39 CEST 2005 x86_64 GNU/Linux Do you think I need to re-install? Or can I continue to run off the IDE drive and merely access the SATA drive for storage space? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
