1) fdisk –l is not working
What exactly is the problem? Error messages? 'fdisk /dev/sda' should work for you.
2) is it bad that I did not set up a swap, and if so is there a way I can set it up in Linux after installation
Once the partition is created run 'mkswap /dev/sdaX' to set the partition as swap and add the following line to /etc/fstab
/dev/hdaX swap swap defaults 0 0 Replace X with the appropriate value.
3) I have 150 gigs of un-partitioned space on my hard drive how do I partition it in Fedora so I can write to it from both linux and win2k if that is even possible
It's very much possible. Format the partition as fat32 partition using 'mkfs.vfat'. Keep in ming that MS Windows doesn't support fat32 partitions larger than ~37GB. Alternatively you can keep the partition as ext3 and use 'ext2ifs' on Windows to read and write to it. ext2ifs control panel applet can be used to assign the partition a drive letter.
