Peter, no matter WHAT advice you get, don't go there. I did <grin> instead partition your disk as 10G /, 1G swap, rest /home plus whatever else you want. EDGY gave me a hard time doing that, but many tries later all worked. Then you can re-install your root with minimal impact on everything else. Then 32->64 upgrade is easy and quick (re-install /, don't touch /home, sql dumped) James PS FYI: /dev/hda1 /, "You have not selected a root partition" round-n-round -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
