I think that /usr/doc/bash should at least mention http://www.gnu.org/manual/bash-2.02/bashref.html. Am I correct that there is no such reference ? What about including some (all ??) the stuff that is found on this URL with Debian distro ?

I think that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is right. WD says my HD is 3249MB, and the kernel says its only 3098MB. But WD also have a remark that it sees 1MB = 100B. Now if the kernel treats 1MB as 2^20 = 1048576 then my HD is 3098 * 1048576 = 3248488448 which are, roughly, 3249MB. Trying it for your H
