I'm either going to go back to a rpm based thing and let something besides me deal with the init* stuff or stick around and dive into this init* crap and add LVM on top. /boot would be the only thing not on LVM. This makes me nervous as heck tho. I have read where if something goes wrong, you can lose everything. I'm hoping I can make mine simple enough that I can manage any problems even if I can get no outside help. From what I have read, usually it's when you can't figure out how to fix it that you lose everything. I'm just not sure which I want to do right now. I may put my spare drive to work here pretty soon tho. Either another distro or playing with the init* and LVM stuff. < sighs > Dale :-) :-)
