I don't know, since I'm staying put with 10.2. However, if 10.3 has started using UUIDs in stead of /dev/<device>, then yes. If that is the case, it should be easily fixed. Once the clone is in place, he boots a rescue cd, and runs blkid /dev/<device> That will tell him the device's UUID, which he then puts into menu.lst Best regards :o) Johnny :o) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
