Hi Riley and Richard, I guess I was thinking along the right lines when I mounted the 7.2 version whilst running the 6.1 version except that I probably didn't mount it correctly because it didn't show up in the /mnt directory. I'd like to down all of it and restart ( to include a dos partition as first partition ) but this is now impractical. I'll try again to get 7.2 to re-install and if it complies , then armed with both your suggestions ( for which I thank you ) perhaps this time I'll succeed.
Luckily ( for other reasons ) this cluster box is off line and I have complete backups for both ax25 and cluster softwares so I *could* completely re-install the current stuff if necessary. - Regards Colin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
