I plan on using space from my /home partion, which is on /dev/hda2. So I will not be tampering with the root file system. In your opinion, does this sound safe? Also, since this is hda2 and not hda1, the swap partion will wind up in the middle or outside edge of the disk, no? That is the 'bad' place to put it according to other posters in this thread. Or am I looking at it backwards? Thank you for sharing your insight, and for reviewing that article for me. As usual, this 'little project' turned into a big learning experience for me. I see that as a good thing! Dotan http://song-lirics.com/sl/artist/325/marcy-playground-lirics.php Marcy Playground music and lirics
