Hi Michael,

Thank you. 

I actually did have -	- in there but was receiving the following error:

ERROR (line 7): Invalid file: Was expecting /\Z/ but found "logical 1.7G" instead

I did a search of this newsgroup and found a post by you dated Wed, 29 Apr 2009 05:56:09 -0700 (http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-fai@uni-koeln.de/msg01966.html) in which you stated that - - is no longer valid. Upon reading that post I removed the -	- from every line, thus arriving at the file that I quoted in my original post, and the error that I now receive.

I'm receiving an error that mkfs.logical cannot be found in PATH. I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. Thank you for any insight that you can give me.
