I'll try this right after I send this email. BTW it's my production
machine (this very one I'm typing my mail right now), but the two
production disks are going out (removable disk frames, very handy) and
my test disk goes in. Oh, you have the major/minor numbers for /dev/hda2
and /dev/hda3, too? Then I don't need to repartition... Or even better,
where do I find these numbers?

Just saw the numbers for hda and hda3, I'll create these two only (hda3
is swap as done by automatic partitioning, so I don't have to
repartition).

Best regards,
