I'd like to get about a 100MB (formatted) drive with under 20ms access time. Then, I want to retire my current 67MB(formatted) drive and use it for news only. It has served me well these last three years, but I think it's time to move on (plus, it is fragmented as hell). Anyway, what I am wondering, is: What is the least painful way to copy my entire 67MB drive to the 100MB drive and then make the 100MB drive my new root drive? Keep in mind that I want to somehow unfragment the files in the process, so I think using dd is out of the questiong. Also, any comments or suggestions concerning my choice of new drive would be appreciated... -- Todd Day | todd@ivucsb.sba.ca.us | ucsbcsl!ivucsb!todd "I believed what I was told, I thought it was a good life, I thought I was happy.
