When I partitioned, fdisk had a problem with a 32M /boot partition for some reason. Something about not enough room for a something table or something like that. I increased it to 64M ... and it was OK with it. I'm not that much of a hardware guy to know the whys or wherefores of what was going on but thought I'd mention it in case it helps. -me -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Collin Starkweather, Ph.D. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
