Yeah. I have a printout of /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/hda. But
when I had to recover I went through the install CD Expert mode, Fdisk,
I manually entered all the entries. I did not use DD. What is the
addressing scheme for the partition table (eg./dev/hdax ) in Linux
terminology. Plain hd[abcd]?

That's actually true. I've lost my two FAT32 partitions, and almost
about to lose my ext2 partition, but my data still exists on the hard
disk. fdisk -l is all I need to know to be able to rebuild everything
on a new hard disk. (I'll use dd to copy the data across after I
recreate the partitions).

OpenOffice 1.x
--------------------
BTW I dont have problems with Openoffice 1.x on RedHat
8.0 though I feel RH8.0 is not the best 8.x distro yet. It could be
flaky hardware in Pramatesh's case. If it does startup try increasing
the Memory allotted to Graphic cache
(tools-options-openoffice.org-Memory)to a sizeable value. The default
is a pathetic 9MB. Startup times are drastically reduced by manipulating
this value. Also I got my CD's from Linuxplaza.org. They are also good
and for two CDs(Rs.35 each) from them you get only one from Clintongoveas.
Mandrake 9.0 is better. Seems to be about 2-4% faster
and no problems with MP3's. Mozilla is 1.1(RH 8.0 is 1.0.1)
