And that seemingly hasn't mattered. I just played around and got some of the partitions, deleted and others expanded to cover the deleted partitions. Now the former hde7 is hde6 and still wont mount. Cyclists should expect and demand safe accommodation on our public roads, just as does every other user. Nothing more is expected. Nothing less is acceptable! Long live Knoppix!! ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
