I think that's probably a good thing, since (hopefully) bad advice can be spotted and corrected (in an appropriate fashion, of course). I think that some of the "why" discussions when it comes to disk partioning (as opposed to the "how" discussions of how you run disklabel and others) might be germane to this list. IMHO of course, and I'll cheerfully be told I'm wrong :-) N -- You are in a maze of twisty signature files all the same. -- You are in a maze of twisty signature files all alike.
