Boot record

[DARREN BROWN]

Mark,

I have not been able to get to /boot, swap, and / on different slices.  Then 
boot w/o problems.  Any ideas?  Tips, tricks.  I've only tried w/ RH 7.x, 
not 8 yet.

Love PartitionMagic.  I recommend it to partiton and format all my drives.  
Flash or rotating.  I need to learn how to use Linux fdisk, here it is a 
great tool.

Regards,
Darren

>Your right.  I always forget about the three slices in linux, plus one for
>/home.  Should he have one for /boot?
