A correction of my last post. All that is missing is to type <CTL>-<ALT>F2 and you get a terminal which allows you to run fdisk. I do it each time I install a version. To get back use either F1 (if you are using linux text installation) or F6 or F7 (if you are using gui installation) with the CTL-ALT. I agree Disk Druid is terrible except to set up the partitions after they are made with fdisk. I would never use automatic partitioning under any circumstances. -- -- ======================================================================= An honest tale speeds best being plainly told. -- William Shakespeare, "Henry VI" ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University One Trinity Place.
