>Bob Miller Hey, this df command is really great! (I like df -h.) I wish I had known about it a few days ago when I first started this partition copying/moving project. It would have saved me much grief and confusion. Working with these Linux/Unix partitions the last few days, I have come to the conclusion that / partition is for the system, the /usr partition is for programs, and the /home partition is for data and user settings. These three groupings (system, programs, data) are how I have been logically dividing up my Windows partitions. Another cool thing I did was to get all my hard drives to work with cable select, and since they are all in "Mobile Rack" removable drive bays, I can plug any drive into any one of my computers and transfer data between them. This leads into the next cool thing: I tried booting of a Mandrake system setup on one machine by putting that drive in another machine. And it worked! A Red Hat device add-remove program came up and asked me if I wanted to uninstall or keep each hardware device from the old system and then added the appropriate driver for the new system. I was amazed. Unfortunately, I didn't write down the name of that "device manager" program so now I can't figure out how to go back into it and tweak things around. Oh well, I'm sure I'll figure it out sometime. (I guess I could put the drive back in the other computer in order to make that Red Hat device add-remove program run again.) Some things are actually starting to work better than Windows, although most things are still broken and I need to go back to windows to get any real work done. I'm getting very good at Glines though. <grin> Is 456 considered a good score? I'm usually in the 300's but once in a while I manage to break through into the mid 400's. Cheers, Dexter
