Dear friends: Problem Solved! I had to donwload a new copy of GAG, install a new copy on a floppy, then reboot, switch to diskette in the Bios and only then does the GAG install/uninstall menu show up.

Dear friends: Using Centos 5. I have two physical drives. During install, I made sure to check hdb as well as hda. Both were listed as partitions (which is correct). But my fstab file does not show hdb. How do I make sure that hdb has been formatted and is part of my file system. If hdb is not formatted, how do I format it, please. Sorry for the question. I am a newbie. d[sher at localhost
