This is just one example of many. I can't help, but I've noticed that F7 is really bad at finding FC6 versions. In my case, it did find them but specified random partitions, eg /dev/sda4, which did not correspond to anything. By the way, did you change /etc/fstab to use labels rather than eg /dev/hda3? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
