It is 7.0, but do you know for sure that this bug has been fixed in 7.0-2? Because I would like to have 7.0 running and upgrade it from there. Or else I'd have to download the update I guess, and I don't know what I should do in that case. I mean, where do I find and where do I save the update, since my medium is a CD. And (attn: guy named root) how do I list a partition empty? I would think it's already empty, I just created it GG Tony wrote: > > is this 7.0 or the fixed up version 7.0-2 > "Weave a circle round him thrice, > And close your eyes with holy dread, > For he on honeydew hath fed, > And drunk the milk of paradise."
