------------------ I'm used to the ease of mepis, where to have a look at unmounted partitions and mounting them was on 2 clicks from the tray, and messing with them was just root password away Some of us are computer users, as opposed to people who know our systems backward. The following: "feel free to do block access to the media the filesystem is stored on and interpret the data either......" means absolutely NOTHING to me and many who are using Linux because windows is an infested, crippled pain, but have little interest in getting any deeper into our systems than using the GUI. With Mepis, it was few clicks to edit the various /etc/boot/menu.lst files. With suse....... well i still don't know :) -- :D +6421374115 www.millerton.co.nz
