Thanks again Robert for helping me out, I'l have to come to a meeting one
day and meet the man behind all the information :)
On a side note, The server I was speaking about has a 20 Gig HDD in it which
is needed elsewhere, i'm going to use Driveimage to image it to a 4Gig HDD I
have sitting around, so here's my question, will linux 'freak' out when it
boots up and finds all it's partitions have gotten alot smaller?

Thankyou to all for you time,
