So I used "bounce" from pine to => put it there... If that wasn't appropriate, please => let me know... Thanks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> When you say msec... from my working Fedora install: "# which msec" doesn't find anything... http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?String=exact&Acronym=msec&Find=Find listed two likely meanings... "message security", or "multicast security"... Though I suspect it's more like "Mandrake security" And would probably be what I thought was the firewall settings during the install process??? If so, then I definitely told the installer to use "standard" I can't immediately test if I could have made linux 1 work as I already replaced the problem install with an archived mdk 8.2 installation and used the update install to get a bootable but very buggy MDK 10.1 instalation... But if I give up trying to get that working right I'll try another clean install and if the problem resurfaces I'll try your suggestion... I wish I'd have remembered to try single user mode before I gave up on it... (Sometimes I think I suffer from CRS {Can't Remember Shi^H^H^HStuff} <grin>) As to the likelihood of your other guesses, I never let a new install span more than one partition. If it works, I might split it up later. I told the installer to put the whole filesystem "/" in /dev/hda4 If anyone can see a good reason in this fdisk output why MDK 10.1 wouldn't "like" "/" & "/root" on /dev/hda4, please do tell...
