That's not fully correct, as many people noticed, the foundation work (libdisk) is there and is ready to work. It's used by sysinstall and works fine for it. It's rather that nobody by now has come 'round to really create this toll that's required to do it, and sysinstall's first goal wasn't to be the all-singing all-dancing system *maintenance* program, but to be the nifty installer. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
