Yes. Yes.

I tried, but there is the need of a "libuuid..." library. Please,
send the other version.

In the second winchester (/dev/hdb) I've only two partitions: the
Linux partition (/dev/hdb1) with +/- 790Mb, and the Swap (/dev/hdb2)
with +/- 30Mb. My first winchester (/dev/hda) has only one partition
with 340Mb for my (eeck!) Windows 95 system. When I really know what
I'm doing in Linux, I'll stop using W95 :-)

I'll need it! :-)
