I think there wasn't any point -:) I was just reading man-pages of mkfs.jfs and there were mentioned that the default blocksize is 4096.

Re: [Cooker] BETA 1 installation problems (JFS)
Yes, I am really sure from that. Maybe the problem is the ID type which according to fdisk is 83 for the partition formatted under Linux and 35 for the partition formatted under OS/2. The output of fdisk will gives me a following: (Id of the JFS-partition formatted by OS/2 is 35 not 83) Disk /dev/hdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1583 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device BootStart EndBlocks Id System /dev/hdb1 * 1457 1583 1020127+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hdb2 2 1456 11687287+ 5 Extended /dev/hdb5 * 2 1201 9638968+ 35 Unknown /dev/hdb6 * 1202 1456 2048256 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order In addition the blocksize should be 4096 (mkfs.jfs default) in both partitions, because I especially put it to that while formatting /dev/hdb6 under OS/2.

Re: [Cooker] BETA 1 installation problems (Harddrake)
No it wont for the normal non superuser!
I just noticed that for root-user the HardDrake opens and works just fine,
but for a normal non-root user it wont even start or ask superuser
password. From the command-line run it gives me a following error (and if I
run it from menu, then will not happen nothing)

A little bit similar happaned also with Mandrake Control Center.
1) If I tried it with normal user from menu or command-line nothing
happened.
2) If I changed to root and dried again,
2.1) Mandrake asked me to insert installation disk 1
2.2) Mandrake installed there some "sane" libraries
2.3) Mandrake control center opened succesfully
3) I changed back to normal user and again I could not start it!
