Thanks in advance for help with this. Your root directory is just plain "/" (that's a solitary forward slash) I don't recall that Redhat asks you to name the root partition. There's only one thing it can be named. It should give you an error message if you don't have it, and force you to go back and assign one. -- Arandir... _______________________________ <http://www.meer.net/~arandir/>
