I just checked out that Libranet website, the screen shots do show a very nice windows-like interface. Does SUSE have anything like that?

I'm downloading SUSE personal edition at home right now while I'm at work, and will definitely also try out Libranet.

I'm sure I'll end up sticking with the first one I get working for my simple purpose though.

BTW> Can you in anyway "RemoteDesktop" into these graphical interfaces? I intended to store the Linux Server in a ventilated cupboard and would really like to be able to access it from an XP PC elsewhere in my home.

3. If you want to add another H.d.D with ntfs file system simply you must edit your "/etc/fstab" and your new H.D.D will be recognised just after your first reboot.If you dont want to reboot the server you simply can mount new device using
" mount /dev/hdx /mnt/newhdd " command as root;where "x"
will be one of alphabets between a-z ;If you have one hdd
and your new device is second you must type "hdb" and if you have two hdd`s and the new device is third you must type "hdc" and so go on;

OK, that's so similar to my TiVo that I'm really comfortable with it, I take it the "mount" line will be what I put in my "/etc/fstab" folder? Going to look at local evening classes on Linux/Unix BTW, as I don't know anyone with any knowledge what-so-ever. My wife thinks I'm mad spending hours onthis, but it's strangely a lot of fun.

partx

PARTX(8)						      System Manager's Manual							  PARTX(8)

NAME

       partx - telling the kernel about presence and numbering of on-disk partitions.

SYNOPSIS

       partx [-a|-d|-l] [--type TYPE] [--nr M-N] [partition] disk

DESCRIPTION

       Given  a  block	device	(  disk  ) and a partition table type , try to parse the partition table, and list the contents. Optionally add or
       remove partitions.

       This is not an fdisk - adding and removing partitions is not a change of the disk, but just telling the kernel about presence and numbering
       of on-disk partitions.

OPTIONS

       -a     add specified partitions or read disk and add all partitions

       -d     delete specified or all partitions

       -l     list partitions. Note that the all numbers are in 512-byte sectors.

       --type TYPE
	      Specify the partition type -- dos, bsd, solaris, unixware or gpt.

       --nr M-N
	      Specify the range of partitions (e.g --nr 2-4).

SEE ALSO

       addpart(8), delpart(8), fdisk(8), parted(8), partprobe(8)

AVAILABILITY

       The partx command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/.
