Re: [newbie]: help with EXT3 other Terms?
I don't remember if I wrote back to tell you things worked out. I basically did as Ed said, tried to fiddle in the install with the settings. Seems to have helped. That and the Nvidia drivers may have helped too. Not sure. But everything seems good again. :) Thx Ed.

I believe the F11 one: Ummm, I'm pretty sure that your filesystem type has nothing to do with screen output in console (term) mode. That's a VGA/SVGA framebuffer issue. Perhaps your card wasn't properly detected during setup? Of course, if it *IS* ext3 related, how about running a different FS. Do you really *need* a JFS? I'm still getting by with ext2, except on my file and print server where XFS is humming along nicely. - C Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie]: help with EXT3 other Terms?
No i don't need a Journalizing sys. But i wanted to try it, seeing as it seems faster. Ext2 is slow, and i'm trying ot find what works for me learn all at once. Maybe a bad way to go about it but I'm still having fun.
