Karsten's point was that if your data is worth something to you, then paying some amount of money to keep it safe is a wise investment. Right now, you're telling us that your data isn't worth your money or your time. > How pray tell do you expand a system?

AFAIK, partition magic has done that for some time, and parted is supposed to do it now. -- Alan Shutko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - In a variety of flavors!
