Another question is should I unplug my several external firewire drives prior to installation - then plug them back in when all is safe.... Also : a while ago I installed a separate install of apache web server (v 2.0.48) (which is active but I never use it...) Is it OK - or How do I get it to stop auto loading on boot up (I know little about it)? -- Thanks - RevDave CoolCat at hostalive.com [db-lists]
