Hi,
I've been trying to use parted to merge two partitions but for some reason,
it won't do it. This is what I get:
Using /dev/hda
(parted) print
Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0.000-19470.937 megabytes
Disk label type: msdos
MinorStart End Type Filesystem Flags
1 0.031
we've got a client who put a horrible partitioning scheme in
place on their raid-mirror setup -- and are wondering if we can
remotely run 'parted' to recover from this...?

As an aside, parted uses MB while fdisk uses
cylinders. How do I convert between t

Not quite. There are 50MB so called Bootable Business Card
distros. Check out for example:

Thanks all for the good advice. Knoppix was an excellent suggestion,
however it doesn't run on my laptop - not even in "failsafe" or "expert"
mode. "failsafe" gets the farthest. So now I'm trying to fix this problem.
I found http://mezzo.net/~peter/lindellinst.html which indicates "I

Only way to go: Knoppix.
It will cost you an iso download, but it is a
fantastic system for recovery anywhere on anything.

Take a look at parted info pages. It mentions how to get parted on a
2nd diskette. And here you are: boot an inst

I would like to dual boot my machine, and need to exec parted to do
this. However, parted isn't on the Debian 3.0 distro CDs that I have,
and gnu only provides floppy images - and my laptop doesn't have a
floppy drive (nor an IR port...beware, prospective buyers of the Dell
5150!).

I used it a couple of times now, and I never had problems with it, but I
would strongly advise you to backup all relevant data before doing it ..

Hello
Anybody ever try to resize partitions using parted? Did it work ok?
I have a box which was setup with one large root partition and no /boot
partition. It was
just supposed to be a test install, but it has grown into a working box and
I would
rather "fix" it to use multiple
