In response to the people who don't like what Brian had to say, I would like to say that we can't start making assumptions about what hardware people have and ignore anyone who does not fit those assumptions. I support Brian on this. If you guys want to have documentation on more advanced disk tricks, make a separate handbook that specializes in partitioning and filesystems. The main handbook can include a reference to it for advanced users. --------------enig035904D24B8E26CC4D04AA2C Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJPcydYAAoJELFAT5FmjZuEiGIQANw6m++xmai4b0xYNEmxelBC QLFS987r9yyXKNdGJ1yDjAXb9dWPdjpe2CYU0AiSS0NL7ygaaXO11A8U8gjGqd5O vKEbpTX9oNZDpXmQg3twZfCvgDLAA9dEQ+GeiXFC46XlkuTNO2aSWuyBj1/J4FG7 SKaWBFSH64UfANP17D4Okzx5MF8yVF6F4n2pFhDNKyqlVakY8tQ/nVUjqhgnCFnB buEGTRaN/hnG/vrzur/F5Geus5C8lJkRazhNvGRoGx0vdwFrD6u5yNAM6gw84nMU 3Rgs6pTqL0Ibid9HCHv5kfWm7Nlb0Ylpln2Hwg+qoZagUai2425+/OfPViIOybcf jg1IM1JQA/5LZlT5r/U7Mebw3EEIB7Tsr7DR4kniOiGi2tF+VxjMag7oqef5zMGO HOjbYGbG4lLhoo99XQ35pPQNM9PjCEkhr62SWnDla9XGsYZw5NmEtHz0/Z7IEm9m VO5+jJOqcdSrYt8dVQoUWbjj1JEwXn+7KSgxAkowGgzguMblUpAhs3ZC3CMdt6A/ bbVbqIXsN4ZzfQNIpvgaLUDMHFTf+SpURBw5xGn8OCmWIz29HHnFtfeSMfr/c/4H 81Q0EEFUpF33I5JGQw3NHsO9R4tllY2Pl9WMBOm46U9evS4J5KBttymfEz0AbFqC xMMaD5Y+GaVNSvy3ODuo =Aayx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig035904D24B8E26CC4D04AA2C--
