partition. Used PM5 to resize it down, then used PM5 to also create a Linux
partition in the newly freed up space. Just lucky, I guess.
later with the nature of the new partitions, and two, once a linux os is installed it doesn't
properly recognise them for what they are, it recognises them as partitions but not as
proper linux partitions. I remember V7 was the first to cope freely with ext2. I believe,
perhaps someone can confirm it , that v8 can cope freely with the other file systems.
I've been a PM user since v5 to 6 and now 7, and hope to obtain V8 sometime.
It's still the best, and always provided that all partitioning is done with it, it works
the best.It's friendly with windblows and linux.
