There is that, I suppose... The current hda is an older 2.5 G Western Digital drive while hdb is a 6 G Quantum Fireball UDMA. I'm assuming that I'd get better performance out of the Fireball if it were drive 0. > your new space on /dev/hda for home directories, /usr/local, a potato > install, or something. Your kernel won't be upset if it stays on > /dev/hdb. Actually, once I wipe Windows, I'm planning to mount the drive under /mmdata/audio/mp3... (Oops! Bad idea... I just checked and I've already got 3.25 G of MP3s... Guess it goes somewhere else after all...) Now if I really wanted to make the effort of doing it right, I'd swap that drive for my other machine's mostly-empty 8 G drive. But that one is currently mounted as / and I don't particularly care to bother with moving a root partition to a different drive. > It should work, but you will have to boot off a floppy disk to redo > lilo.conf and LILO. Really? I'd think I could just add another entry to lilo.conf for Linux on hda, rerun lilo to install it, and I should be fine. (Just so long as I leave the current entries intact so I can move the drive back to hdb if something goes wrong, of course.) -- Geek Code 3.1: GCS d- s+: a- C++ UL++$ P+>+++ L++>++++ E- W--(++) N+ o+ !K w---$ O M- !V PS+ PE Y+ PGP t 5++ X+ R++ tv- b++ DI++++ D G e* h+ r++ y+
