I don't understand. I did reboot after I saved the changes under fdisk,
and when I remounted the partitions, they had the sizes of the PC
partitions I had originally created. I'm not really concerned with this
right now though, my outstanding problem is getting X to work. I still
have the entire archive in the form of .deb files that I can re-install.
Could you give me a list of the bare essential files that are needed for
X-windows? I'll try reinstalling them and give it another go...
Thanks,
Eric
Ever closer :)
