| + | I have a potential article. Something I learnt about yesterday. Maybe it's not 100% relevant. It's called "How to recover your FreeBSD install after you change the partition in your dual-boot Linux install and don't reboot and mkfs.ext2 wipes out the first 256mb of your FreeBSD install and you spend a few hours reinstalling the base system and recovering the rest". It would be a real block buster! | ||
