Thanx anyway :)

Final question.... when Fedora is shutting down I get an NFS Locked [failed] during the shutdown sequence.
Im not too worried about it (as everything runs fine) I was just wondering whats failing (so I can fix it hopefully)

Im not too worried about it (as everything runs fine) I was just wondering whats failing (so I can fix it hopefully)NFS is the Network File System protocol. This is used to share files between or over a Linux (non-Windows) network. As your machine is the single Linux machine on the network you do not need this service running.

Open a terminal window as root and enter in:

chkconfig --list

You should see listed these two items: nfs and nftlock. You will also see what runlevels they are ON at, so you will need to switch it off for each on level. The syntax for this is:

chkconfig --[levels] [service] [on/off/reset]

Eg: chkconfig --345 nfs off

Thought of another question... now that I have Linux working ok, can I use Nortons Ghost to ghost my Linux partition?

368693 2005-07-05 08:42:00 Yes you can, if you have a recent version of Ghost. Never tried this myself though. You can find more information here (service1.symantec.com). There is also an open source clone of Ghost which looks promising - Ghost for Linux (freshmeat.net) Jen (38)

368695 2005-07-05 21:13:00 Yes you do :p

How good is partimage? Any issues? << these are the big 2 questions

Is it easy to use like Ghost or do I have to do a crash course in C++? Not so important as I have just read some info on it, seems ok but still looking for your input :)

The Ghost for linux site you posted Jen, do you know if anyone has used it, how did they find it? Issues?
