Bizarrely not seeing my own posts hitting either list, or anyone's replies. :-(
Anyway, fsck from Kmoppix on /dev/sda1 & /dev/sda3 show OK. QTparted shows; /dev/sda /dev/sda1 ext3 101Mb /boot /dev/sda2 linux-swap 508Mb /dev/sda3 ext3 *Mb / I'm going to try another FC6 install, testing the media this time. What other disk testing/formatting tools can I try from Linux rescue disk or Knoppix? P On 08/03/07, Peter George <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Funny, not seeing my own posts to the lists or any responses. Gmail. Thanks for the tips Dan, I got some ideas of things to try off #scotlug. Will post when fixed, citing what helped.
