Hi, Mike:

Before I screw around with this SuSE 7.2 boot disk (which is currently 
my only means to boot the system) I will need to go into YaST2 and make 
another boot disk.

(Does anyone else get the feeling that someone at SuSE has had problems 
with their <Shift> or <CapsLock> keys?)

According to fdisk, there are several partitions with different file 
types, among which are both Unix and Linux.

Thanks for the info.  Also, thanks to others for their suggestions.

Regards,

Glenn
