Note that Knoppix will use your swap partition. You should turn off swap before you run QTParted. You also should run QTParted as root. Normally, when booting Knoppix you are a regular user. Just bring up an xterm or console, the su - to become root, then turn off the swap: swapoff /dev/hda6

Hi, I'm back to bug you guys on this thread. (BTW, It's very likely that I may use some terms incorrectly, due to my unfamiliarity with linux. Sorry about that. :) ) In case you may forget, let me repeat my situation: only 1 hard drive, and only RedHat Enterprise installed on it, and no
