Back when the DD stuff came in, I asked you "hey, Poul, in the DD case what the heck should I set the geometry to?" and you said "how about 1 for everything?" So I did. Believe me, I didn't just make it up on my own - I've never professed to have any idea about the proper care and feeding of geometries, just as you've proclaimed a lack of knowledge/interest in GUI design, and I'm just following orders here. :-) In any case, rather than pointing fingers I'd just as soon make it DTRT, but I'm still waiting for input on what TRT is. :-) Jordan
