On an 8 GB disk, keeping both NT and Linux, allocating the latter
cylinders
to Linux [I know I am violating every rule], RHL used to take up some
2 GB on my installation while this installation takes up 3.1 GB or so.
I have been rather selective :-d

Hmm.. may be. I believe that Red Hat saved everything at a rather short
interval. I will observe this and get back to you. Khader, where does
one specify the 'sync'ing interval? May be I could check first hand. If
you tell me, good. Else I will have to wait till the evening to get to
my maching and to do a 'man sync'

Since I have nothing useful on my machine yet, I might try that. This is
a new filesystem, alright? I have not been careful enough to encounter
an option in YaST as yet which might tell me about having this new FS on
my machine. Any advantage over ext2fs?
Also, what did the people do with their huge databanks when the native
filesystem in Linux changed to ext2 ? Is it possible to keep data while
converting FS type in Linux? Again, will go home and do 'man'. Yet, may
be you could be feeling generous and tell me something right now?
Binand, can you wait for a couple of days :-D [standard crib] for the
CDs ?
