Actually the change is with the kernel. To quote Jose, who shared this with me yesterday, "PNP finally works. Prior to 8.0 all PNP devices had to be configured manually via the ISAPNP.CONF file. With 8.1 the kernel adjusts dynamically as in WinXX." > As part of the preparations for the LM 8.1 installation, > I have copied my current /home/me to a separate partition > (/archives) that is ext2fs.

Yes, but if you make / ext2, then there isn't much left to make journaled! If /archives is a totally separate partition, then on install I would make everything except /archives journalled. (Then once you've moved your stuff back to /home/me, change the fs on /archives to something journalled, too ;-) Regards, Carroll -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com >
