Cheers Patrick, that's helpful to know. There's no decent reason for the small partition sizes - just me not knowing what I'm doing :-/ Hey, if I changed the name from blue, I'd have to give it a paint job. You'll just have to live with it :-P Cheers, Dave. On 11/06/04 21:28, Patrick Lane wrote

Thank you for the response! The stuff you tell me gives me a good Idea of what to do, I still need to find out more about partitionin I guess since I don't know how I would share the 20 gb disk let's say between /opt and /home without creating an individual partition for each one Do you know
