Antilope was only active for 6 days and hasn't been seen since - although I hope that if he has notification on and someone passes comment at his Topic, he will see it and return with news on how he has travailed since.Īntilope's example provides a wonderful template for an MSDOS/MBR -based computer, and it is a shame that his screenshots did not survive the passage of time, I have a recollection that GParted &c shots looked very neat and tidy (makes an argument for keeping your screenshots if you have the space, in case you leave an image hosting provider or they belly up).
