2004-04-20 Thread tslug

My Hard Drive is 9.5 GB, unpartitioned this moment, but it will soon have a 7.5 or 8GB partition, with room for another - should I go ahead and create another partition or wait 'till Monday? As long as the space is there, you don't need to create any partitions for Linux. They'll be put on
