I *LOVE* partitioning.. Heard of it but was actually afraid to take that step for years, primarily because I didn't understand how it functioned. Finally taught myself how to do it about a year and a half ago. It is *so* nice to have a couple operating system options ready to go on the same single hard drive AND be able to separate out personal user shtuff nearby on the same. Total win in my case is it makes messing up and having to reinstall not so painful.... *each* time it happens. Personal pics and things remain safe on the one partition, and there's the secondary, functional operating system right there to work from on a second partition while rebuilding the damaged system residing on the third. *grin* Good luck :) Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with plastic sporks * -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
