Has anybody done this? Is it as simple as I am thinking it is? To get a modest sized partiton (500MB) to play around with some things I want to "glue" together the hda1 hda2 and hda3 partitions of my /dev/hda:
[root@haystack runge]# fdisk -l /dev/hda Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1582 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 32 257008+ 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M /dev/hda2 33 48 128520 82 Linux swap /dev/hda3 49 64 128520 82 Linux swap /dev/hda4 65 1582 12193335 5 Extended /dev/hda5 65 80 128488+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda6 81 96 128488+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda7 97 1582 11936263+ 83 Linux native Can I just go into fdisk, delete the first 3 and then create a bigger hda1? I have NT 4.0 on /dev/hda1 and haven't booted it in years; it would be fun to delete and recycle it along with the swap :-) I understand the hda* names will (may?) all change, and I am prepared to fix this in /etc/lilo.conf and /etc/fstab. I have a sinking feeling I am forgetting something here... please remind me before it is too late! ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
