3) When trying to squeeze LINUX into a m/c with several small HDD's I found that a maximum of 4 partitions per drive was allowed. Is there a reason for this? (cant remember every trying to add more than 3 partitions in the past! DOS or LINUX)

Well not so much 'Wintel' as the way PC partition tables work, I think. -- Roger Whittaker SuSE Linux Ltd The Kinetic Centre Theobald Street Borehamwood Herts WD6 4PJ ---------------------- 020 8387 1482 ---------------------- roger@suse-linux.co.uk ----------------------
