Another example of why separate partitions are A_Good_Thing (TM). My / is only 300 MB. On boxes with drives over a couple of GB, I have a / partition on each drive with an entry in grub, with grub on all drives. Fixing a problem on one drive is as simple as booting another drive. Rsync keeps the drives in sync. One good reason why more than one spindle is a good thing. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
