I've used the CD at http://www.systemrescuecd.org/ with some success (in my case, to help recover from a test run of the new debian-installer). It includes parted, among other useful tools for the case where you're booting off a CD because you can't do anything else. (My new laptop didn't come with a floppy drive, incidentally, and I'm fine with that. It does have a CD burner, though. These days floppies just have no useful capacity and one in two seems to want to go from the package straight into the garbage...) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
