I changed my root to ext3 after a *nasty* partial file corruption on both my partitions. :( It happened when I powered off without shutting down. The install was screwed up (including apt), so I reinstalled. Unfortunately, some data is also corrupted so I'm having to copy from backups (which I conveniently made when I switched to gNewSense). :( Matthew Flaschen _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
