And all but the /boot are logical partitions. It seems to be working so far, but it has only been a few hours. One last hardware hurdle to over come yet though. The BIOS really doesn't like the new drive. I have to over-ride the errors, and boot via floppy. Now I remember reading one time that there is a way to make the BIOS believe that it's a smaller drive, and once Linux takes over the world is good again. Would anyone know where the how-tos on that is?
Well I was having a bit of trouble with the 64 meg, so had to drop back to 32. Miss matched chips was offered as a possible explanation. Don't know, but it sure was acting goofy. -- >Lute< Hey! It happens. Well it does...
