Heya Gerb. I'm sure it's probably too late for this but it would have been best to delete everything that you're doing by command line and saving each record of it in a Notes file. That way, you would have something to refer yourself to if anything went south, but more importantly, you would be able to share that doc with us so we could easily follow what you did. And yeah, there's just a ton of useless crud that comes with Diablo. I think I remember that there even was a 10 meg Chinese font or something that wasn't needed. Could be wrong on this though. Anyway, I did the same thing you're doing awhile back and deleted everything I could. I ended up screwing the pooch when simple programs no longer functioned. If you ever reflash and do this again, would you mind doing the command line suggestion and share that with us? I still don't know how to dual boot so I definitely will follow what you're doing since it would be a simple copy and paste in Xterm. Thanks.
