Should I be reading this or is it up to date enough that I wont end up confused because of changes that have occurred since that howto has been updated? I don't want to learn something just to find out that there has been changes and then get my brain turned to soup. Little light bulb here. physical volume is the same as a physical drive? If I understand it correctly, it is the whole thing unpartitioned. I'm hoping for some nice pictures before to long to help explain this some more. lol Dale :-) :-)
