I am not sure I understand what YOU mean by partition table. As far as I am aware, my meaning of partition table there is only one standard sort of partition table on x86 systems (I think other operating systems such as solaris may have differnent things). However, partitions themselves are have different sorts of identify. 83 is a standard linux partition 0c a win fat32 partition. 8e is a special type that you use with LVM. You might mean filesystem type which you then make in the partitions (except with lvm, you don't, you make them in a "logical volume" - you need to read the lvm howto. - -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE96ANNuFHxcV2FFoIRAqs6AJ9/ecyh2177HV5cyBwO2ICMwsYwXACgletE mWNS5Zg9hH06RdsJtB0vAng= =5OhT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
