You need to run mkfa on that partition. It's called format in windows terms. If
you want to put linux file system on it, just say ' mke2fs /dev/hdxx' (Fill in
the balnks.)
BTW, is there any way to set size of partition? Even though this is an
afterthought. Yesterday, on my company machine, I split my home partition in
two. For sharing with NT. When I just remounted reduced home partition, it just
worked fine but on next boot linux refused to boot saying partition block count
does not match with actual block count. I did mkfs on it and lost all my data.
Anyway I didn't have much. I think I should have used ext2resize or ext2ed. Any
comments?
One more irrelavant thing... Today I found that after installing all .ttfs from
windows, netscape on linux renders far better than earlier. That's fpr obvious
reasons. All who cribs about it sucks types... try this new solution......
