I just did an ftp installation today.  Before doing so, I used PartitionMagic
to repartition my harddrive.  Initially, it was one 4GB FAT32 partition used
by win95.  I repartitioned it into:

Partition
/dev/hda1               win95           ~2.5GB
/dev/hda2               BootManager     7MB
/dev/hda5               /               ~150MB
/dev/hda6               /usr            ~650MB
/dev/hda7               /home           ~650MB
/dev/hda8               /usr/X11R6      ~150MB
swap                    swap            ~70MB

Of course, PartitionMagic didn't identify the partitions by the /dev/hda#
labels but I got those correlations from inside DiskDruid during the 
installation.

Anyways, the installation finished gracefully but I now have 2 problems:
1. BootManager is only seeing the win95 partition, not the linux / partition.
I have sent a message to their help line.
2. All the space (~1.6GB that I had allocated to the linux partitions is
full (according to the PartitionMagic graphic).  Is this possible?

One last question . . . how does the installation know what to put on which
partition?  I assumed that I would have to sort things into /, /usr, and 
/usr/X11R6 but somehow, they all got filled (and /home as well).  I'm
confused.
