Well, I don't know about others but it sure was enlightening to me. Now I
have to make a decision:
Fiddle with the partition tables using partition magic to try and set things
straight or reinstall the whole thing. I think I'll be going with option B.
My swap space is too large and there are some other issues to contend with
also. Oh well, that's what this whole thing is about. At least I'm not
reinstalling for a stoopid reason.
Thanks to all,
