Even removed the message about no magic. My word, they picked that one right didn't they. Having read ALL that there is, way back to sometime in October 1995, I have finally got it all sorted. Now I'll write it all up for others to use, and put it on my site somewhere. Once you know whats happening, it seems a lot more inteligent than stand/sysinstall, and with the building of disktab files, could be a good and valuable resource. I'll start with mine :-) bob Robert Chalmers wrote: > > This is the only message I get now about the structure of the second > hard disk I've been experimenting with. > -- Support Whirled Peas.
