And it asks me to type in the size, which i use 100M, and then the type of partion. But it it doesn't make the partion 100mb it makes it 0mb. I have about 200mb of free disk space which should be more than enough. This causes a problem in the next step when you have to create a file system or whatever. I tried making the partion different sizes, in megabytes and in block size, but nothing seems to work. It shows the partion was created and names it FreeBSD but it's 0mb. Am i doing something wrong? I read all the help files, but nothing seems to help. -====================================================================- Mike Heffner http://netnet.net/~aheffner/ aheffner@lakefield.net Manitowoc, WI 54220 heffners@lakefield.net USA -====================================================================- "Well...You think what you think, I'll think what I know."
