Dang Mark, I hadn't thought of that. <slaps forehead> See, that's why you need to stick around here. ROFL I wonder, can I do that with the Gentoo LiveGUI too?? Anyone know? I may need help getting Grub to see those tho. I let it do it's thing with my kernels but I have no idea on pointing it to something else. Given I have a 500GB drive, I got plenty of space. Heck, a 10GB partition each is more than enough for either Knoppix or LiveGUI. I could even store info on there about drive partitions and scripts that I use a lot. Jeez, that's a idea. Thanks. Dale :-) :-) :-) :-) P. S. Extra happy there. ;-)
