Just used qparted from knoppix to grab some disk space from windows, for
the use of fedora 4. The fedora partition is ext3, the new, created by

do I have to do something more?
Are you trying to install FC 4 on the ext2 partition ? In any case, it
shouldn't matter that much. During install, you can choose to reformat
the ext2 partition to ext3 and then install the to that partition. Just
make sure you pick the correct partition so that you don't accidentaly
delete/reformat the Windows partition.
If you are already running FC4, you can convert the ext2 to ext3. ext3
is just ext2+journaling. You can search the web on how to do this. For
example, the method here should work:
