Hi Goh
I have this information panel already, but it seems *unreactive*, it hardly 
displays more info what is on the left pane (just Type:folder and modified: 
06.07.2010), and only when I click on the partition (in Hardy hovering did it)

No need to right click, it is always there.

hopefully *this works*   ;O))

The only thing missing is I cannot see a clear partition name like sda5

It used to.

I had installed gparted, it probably does the same thing as partition manager, 
I can find sda5 but I do not expect to be able to explore the content of sda5 
from there.

I will have to dig into this, it might be helpful, and perhaps even solve my 
problem. Will report on that later when I learn how to do that.

Thanks all for input.		Perry
