I have a copy of Partition Magic III for Win '95 that I've used to success in getting my copy of Linux on the road. When I found myself with 450 Meg of extra free space after converting a FAT partition to FAT32, I reduced the size of the original partition to leave about 200 Meg free, of which I planned to make 16 Meg a swapfile and the rest for the main partition. Partition magic can't do that much with Linux partitions as far as I can tell. It can certainly make non-dos partitions, to what extent I'm not completely sure, I'd have to examine the manuals. It *can* however, change the size of the partitions on the fly, even move the partitions location on the HD. Of course, you can't put it down to less than the disk space available, but you can certainly take a spare hundred meg off one for another purpose. Very useful. As for configuring the Linux partitions, I did that with cfdisk on installation. Hope *some* of this is of help. I'll be posting my own problems shortly. ;-) Have fun, RtB.
