It has been an interesting week of learning. Once my test system could see the logical volumes I created an ext2fs partition on /dev/hda9 and copied the content of the "/" logical volume to it. I changed the /etc/fstab entry for "/" to match the new location. Next I modified the /boot/grub/menu.lst entry to match the new location. Once these steps were done I re-booted the system using a grub floppy disk. I used the root, kernel and boot commands to boot the production Linux 7.1 system. From there I reentered grub and used the root and install commands to install grub on the /boot partition. I re-booted the system at that point and it is running now with no apparent ill effects. I don't think I will make any improvements for a few days. I need the rest ;-) Heinz, Andreas, Many thanks. -- Good Journey, longevity and prosperity to all Les Hazelton
