I may consider making available a special install floppy - a floppy with some changes to the sysinstall menus for greater "granularity" in the commands available. You would be able to write out just the MBR, the boot sector, the labels, fsck the filesystems only, make the filesystems only and mount/extract only as independantly selectable options. I was going to do this on my return, but now that I have good connectivity in Ireland again and can make the changes remotely, I may do it a little earlier. No promises yet, but I will at least look into it! Jordan
