The other half used to have Linux on it - maybe still does. Just the same I'd like to reuse the space. I thought of using the installation utility for this, but stopped short when I read that changes to the partition table could wipe out all the data. I know reinstalling FreeBSD from scratch is one way, but maybe that`s the hard way. Comments? Jeff S. Dickson jdickson@vtol.jpl.nasa.gov
