It's been around a while now. It's not without its problems in the PC world. Reportedly if one does multiple installs to the same system the installer labels everything uniquely. However, duplicate a drive (dd) or add a drive from another system, and very likely you get the wrong filesystem(s) mounted. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note: mail delivered to me is deemed to be intended for me, for my disposition. ============================== If you don't like being told you're wrong, be right!
