Yes i suspect it is as you say.

ok. However I am checking the OSX disk utility and doesnt look like it 
will allow me to change the file system of a single partition. It seems 
that it wants me to repartition (and erase!!!) the whole hardrive. Then 
i would be back to square 1 having to install OSX, ubuntu and tansfer 
all my stuff between the external HD and the laptop ............. 
jeeeeesus .. there must be some simpler way to do it. I remember when i 
used windows there was partition magic that would allow to do things 
like this in a very easy way. Is there anything like that i could use? i 
know thre is some mac software but its payware.

somebody should solve this. It would be the third time in 4 days that i 
erase everything. Its becomming very anoying. On the other hand i havent 
managed yet to connect to the net with my modem. I read the HOWTO about 
this and followed all the steps but i am not sure what its wrong. It 
just doesnt do anything. I wonder it this is because of the name of the 
device (like com1, com2 but for linux .. this tts1 thinggy) maybe i 
didnt select the right one, but could i know which one in my modem on a 
powerbook?

thanks once again
