Goldman As someone who lost my 2.5GB partition - I'd be careful about making a ext2fs partition (using the unstable distribution) that is > 2GB until the glibc/e2fsprog bug is fixed. Plus a correction - 2GB is the limit on the size of a single file in the Linux kernel. Partitions can be substantially larger... Oh yeah - don't make your partitions too large on your boot disk - or lilo won't be able to use them to boot the kernel. Cheers, - Jim
