Re: Linux Il
Well applouse to slackwere rescue disk :-)
even if i dont like the vi. (i preffer joe)
one of the strange thing was that when i loaded the ramdisk it declared
that it found sda HD with partitions sda1, sda2, sda3
any way i could not mount sda1 so the question what it probed ?
/dev/sda2 233294 175066 46180 79% /
/dev/sda3 3811406 3159801 454408 87% /proxy
