"fdisk /dev/hdb <-- partition /deb/hdb" hi robert, thank you for your quick response. perhaps i am mistaken as i am new to linux and its notations, and i may be misunderstanding a little, but i believe that particular line consists of a command (fdisk) and then its argument (/dev/hdb), and then a description of what that command is supposed to be doing (i.e. partitioning /dev/hdb). so there seems to be an inconsistency, because the argument to the fdisk command is "/dev/hdb", but the description of what it is doing indicates "/deb/hdb" ("dev" in the command argument, but "deb" in the description). best regards, edwin
