[snip] Have to disagree with you there Rod buddy. I installed a 6.4 to a few Pent II boxes and after a while when the get say half full or more they really start to drag thier arse big time. I used norton to defrag the things, but no real improvement there either... So I recomend to keep partition size to below 3 Gig. Fat32 is my choice, unless multi-booting NT (NTFS) P II Man... --
