Thanks for all > advice. I'd try another install. This time make /boot a separate partition, ext3. Make your other partitions ReiserFS. I've been usin ReiserFS since 7.2 beta's never a problem. If you opt for XFS, still make an ext3 /boot partition, 20 to 50 mb. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas -+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Business Computer Projects - Disclaimer -+-+-+-+-+-+-+- This message, and any associated attachment is confidential.
