	G'day again, It must be my day for questions.  This more for filling in
the blanks than problem solving.

	I'm thinking of getting a Maxtor OneTouch IV 250GB external drive, so I
googled other peoples experiences. On 2 sites (below) I found similar
explanations of the steps to get one working under Linux.  Both say to
reboot between fdisk and mkfs. Why?
