Have no clue what you're talking about! No problem though ... Let me do some reading of the recommended docs above.

I was waiting for that one to pop up. :) If it's _that_ unpredictable, I think that I'll install it on a spare box. FWIW, 8 mos ago, I installed XP on Part1; Linux on 2 (with the swap on an extended partition); PcBSD on 3; and Native Oberon on 4. used Gnome `gparted' to resize and move partitions, with XP still in Part.1 Zero problems!
