Yeah, laptops tend to be shipped with all 4 partitions used. Which is more lame, filling all of them, leaving me to speculate non-technical motivations, or the 4 primary partition limit in the first place. Anyway, you can: * back up the whole thing to now-commdity-size USB memory stick with Clonezilla live (and after install back up that image to HDD); and/or * create restore DVD set from the restore partition (search as to how, gotta be out there). /Randall _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list LinuxUsers@socallinux.org http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers
