If this *is* a problem then checkout "paud" (try freshmeat). It is a mini-distro that fits on a single floppy and includes parted (you download the 1.44Mb image under a working OS, make a floppy, boot it and re-part you disks as required (I used it a few weeks ago to sort out my Gentoo install when I created /boot partition too high up the disk)) Regards, Simon -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
