Hi All...

Just reading back through some posts...and wanted to mention that Richard
isn't the only one that gets some strange results using Disk Druid and
fdisk.   I too; get to that part...enter the sizes for swap and / and most
times the partitions will be interchanged....eg---40meg swap hdb1 350meg /
hdb2-----after all is said and done I end up with 40meg swap hdb2 and 350
meg / hdb1.  No idea of what's causing that; I thought it was just my
inexperience with the proggies...but I guess not.  OTOH using 'cdisk' in
slinky...the partitions come out as originally setup....go figure. 

later..G
