So as long as you use hijack to replace the kernel you will be fine. There are special building instructions though for drives over 80GB. _________________________ -Michael #040103696 on a shelf Mk2a - 90 GB - Red - Illuminated buttons

Long track names, comment fields with lots of data in them, that'll use up more database space. (I could be wrong about this but I seem to remember it was like this.) Generally the limit for most of those reporting problems is above ten thousand. _________________________ Tony Fabris
