Hi Paul,

wow that was fast.

I'm too busy trying to recover it right now. Also, I don't have a 
install.log. I did find a anaconda.syslog if that's what you're 
referring too.

That was part of my complain ;-), I didn't set that up. It's by mirror 
it seems.

My point was more philosophical: I like to have control on whats 
installed/activated.... that's one of the Linux features I always liked.

Ok maybe I'm missing something. If I look at /dev/disk, I would expect 
that every disk or partition to be listed in every subdirectory there: 
by-id, by-label.
I'd also expect that every entry there is listed in fdisk -l. Am I wrong?

Ok that means it's me. I'm positive I don't have processes running on it 
though. I have to unplug it.


thanks for the quick, and knowledgeable, response.

best,
mauri
