For the most part correct, but if the removal of the device caused a re-naming of remaining devices, there would also be a need to boot up into rescue mode and edit e.g. /etc/fstab, and fix grub to account for the new partition naming. But in any case, as he said, no reinstall is needed, only the tweaking of a few key parameters. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
