Well, I did a little fips and fdisking when I installed 1.1, and based on what I saw, I think it'll be more like: Projected Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 1 200 ....... 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M /dev/hda4 201 201 413 ....... 83 Linux native /dev/hda2 414 414 799 389088 83 Linux native /dev/hda3 800 800 825 26208 82 Linux swap I think you should have an alternate plan if this is what you get. Of course, I may have done something stupid... Sincerely, Raymond Ingles (810) 377-7735 [EMAIL PROTECTED] They said there'd be snow at Christmas; They said there'd be peace on Earth.
