I have all of the above. >You could boot up from >one of them and newfs the filesystem or do a "minimal" install. At the risk of being a pest here, I want to make sure that I understand. I'm assuming that doing a newfs would lay a new file system down on the partition thereby eliminating whatever was on it. I would then restore the contents from whatever. Is that correct? Will doing a newfs on the root filesystem affect my ability to boot? Thanks again. As I say, I appologize for being a pest. ... doug _____________________________________________________________________ Doug Jolley mailto://doug@footech.com http://www.footech.com Don't bogart that file, my friend.
