Well, as an old Unix hand I recommend even more partitioning than that ;-) I have three partitons on my system: System, Classic and Users. System holds System Apps etc. Classic if for OS9, classic Applications, etc. Users is /Users linked to another partiton (though I'd prefer it to be another drive entirely.) This lets me re-install the system with minimal hassles, like backing up and restoring user data, even when the system is massively hosed, requiring a re-install of the OS on a clean disk. I can reformat the system partition and not lose any data. Apparently OSX does something with /Sawp, sinc ethat also normally goes on it's own partition in most Unix installations. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
