Hi, someone on this list was telling me to dump the parted boot disk image to a ram disk to add in my own kernel, but when I tryed it it did not work. If any of you have used parted boot disks with a kernel with speakup in it please email me because I would like to re partition my hard drive none distructively. bye -- http://users2.ev1.net/~nick6 Home of Chihuahua Radio, the internet radio station that I run.
