SuSE's YaST and Red Hat's Disk Druid will both repartition successfully. I used to always carry a bootable Partition Magic to installfests, but instead I use either the Linux installer (Disk Druid or YaST), or I boot a Knoppix Cd and use QTParted. -- Jerry Feldman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
