That would be done in cfdisk I presume.  I think that is where I saw that.

I love to fish.  I have issues with stress which is why I try to avoid 
it when I can so fishing is good for me plus I like to eat fish.  I fish 
with a rod and a hook but they usually don't like when you start pulling 
the hook out.  He tends to want to get away.  That's where the slimy 
part comes in.  I'm not sure where you are from but in some parts of the 
USA, some bright people do fish with their hands, usually very large 
catfish too.  I saw it on TV and I wish I could catch one of those, even 
if I would need a new rod.  A fish that size would likely break my rod 
unless I was using the deep sea fishing rod.  Those fish weigh 30 lbs 
and some LOTS more.  It's like pulling a teenager out of the water.  
O_O  They are big.

OK.  Back to LVM.  lol
