Oh well, I can live without those for now. I just started installing it. So far I am really impressed. They actually scaled down the GUI installer. Much cleaner and faster. It also allows you to configure a personal firewall right off the bat. You can enable services or leave them all off. It only allows DNS ports and another one that I can't remember. Seems to be very fast compared to 7.0. It even has a shell prompt this time. Found that out by accident. I have made an error though. I tried to redo my partitions and am having some trouble. Using the Disk Druid I deleted the first 3 partitions on my drive. I was going to just resize them but Disk Druid wouldn't allow that. Now when I create a partition it creates it as sda9 or sda8 not sda5 which it should be. How do I get around this. I tried using fdisk. In the extended features it is supposed to allow you to fix the partition order. It does this only on screen. When I write the partition table it reverts back to sda9. I then restarted the computer to see if it would simply renumber them as it started up. Apparently not. What gives. I thought that these utilities were smarter than that. Is there a way to renumber the partitions? I can't delete the other 3 partitions on this drive. I have RIP so there should be no problems booting into those. I will have to edit the fstab and lilo.conf files to point them to the right partitions but that should be it, right? No hidden rocks in the water? Even though I havn't gotten it all the way installed I am fairly impressed with the installation program. Kinda like looking at the pretty pictures on the cover of a novel but not being able to read. : ) sim
