I noticed that a while ago. Slax has a command line switch to enable/disable that "feature." ( though we'd all prefer a more sensible default ) It used to default to not writing anything, but using the swap partition if it exists. By the same token, I'm not fond of the Rivendell DVD wiping everything on the existing disk. I'd prefer the option to choose, much like Slackware will ask if it finds a compatible file system. -- Cowboy http://cowboy.cwf1.com If you're going to do something tonight that you'll be sorry for tomorrow morning, sleep late. -- Henny Youngman _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
