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
