No it won't destroy anything. It just changes which partitions have which numbers on them. I've done this sort of procedure on my TiVo (it's a PPC box and I used pdisk). In the case of the TiVo it assumes certain things are numbered certain ways so I was able to trick it into having a larger swap partition temporarily to get around a fsck type issue I had. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org "America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy.
