I chose ext3 this time I reinstalled for hde7, the one
I want to save to. The hd is a 30gb and I roughly
split it into 3 parts.
The above 'setup' of the partition was done with Mandy

Don't 'think so'..see the df -h hehehe. Plenty to
'waste' here.
What's really strange is that the last install was
slak 10 and I did tell it to format each of the Mandy
setup partitions, All three, hde1, 6, 7 and when I
rebooted, up came mandy. I had a bootdisk for slak and
it only boots slak that way???? Weird, since I told it
to 'format' hde1/6/7 each!! Oh, well that is another
'topic' so to speak. Not worried about that right this
moment.

Nothing more is expected.
Nothing less is acceptable!
Long live Knoppix!!
