cc: Pixel, By the way Pixel... I screw my HDD again with panoramix,
stating from 0 again!
they were reported two unalocated partition by diskdrake at instalation
time, I thout about
recovering this space and I assinged them mount points... what a BIG
huge mistake!
then it said I had to reboot to activate the new configuration so it
could continue installing,
and after booting it reads "the disk was unreadable" 'blanking
unreadable partitions bla bla'
and everything was lost! urrrggg
so I bought a new HDD a 17Gigs to play with Panoramix' without messing
my normal
setup ;-)
