Who said that Linux doesn't lock-up like Windows!
I was trying to save a copy of my MBR (mbr.b) by copying to diskette via Mandrake 8.2 and Konquerer. The mouse pointer disappeared and the machine locked up. No copying was done to the diskette according to the 'copy window'. Only a Power-on Reset restarted. Of course it then went through the recovery from an unsatisfactory close down and I see that the mbr.b file is now dated February while on diskette is a file with current date and time, but I suspect that it is actually only the header which was written.
