When it is asking you to choose Autopartition , Disk Druid, etc. you are saying the hitting <CTL>-<ALT>- F2 does not get you to anothr terminal. I did it as recently as yesterday and that worked. Something is really wrong if a terminal does not show uo on the screen. That is just a blank screen with prompt at which you can type: fdisk /dev/hdax ======================================================================= A likely impossibility is always preferable to an unconvincing possibility. -- Aristotle ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University One Trinity Place.
