Regarding your Windows partition that is 60GB and you need to chop off some for linux, I believe that the program 'fips' is still on the Linux installation cd. It should be under one of the top directories. I have used it before and it works great. It didn't harm my windows. Keep about 8-10Gb for windows, the rest for ext3, divided into sensible partitions. Use fips for this one task only, then read on... In the future, use your windows xp disk to partition the windows partitions (the programs are right on the cd); use parted (excellent) or fdisk, the linux one, not the old windows 98 one, for all ext3 partitions. Sticking to this, you will minimize your problems with partitioning down the road. Make sure you read the docs for these programs before you use them. Make notes for the relevant commands, because when you're installing, you won't have access to the internet or help files, unless you have 2 computers. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
