I believe you are correct, Oswald. Basically, you daisy-chain the extended partitions (think linked list, though it's technically a bit different). I'm also puzzled by the initial question. Every Debian install I've done created /dev/hda10 as part of the install process. Perhaps the original poster made a mistake when creating it? The output of "ls -l /dev/hda10" might be informative, as might a partition list of /dev/hda from fdisk. ------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"--- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------
