Larry,
I don't think these folks realize that there is a very powerful GUI
partitioning tool included with the Mandrake installation software that
will do a nicer job, IMHO, than Partition Magic. All one has to do is
boot the CD. Of course they're going to have to perform the expert install
and configure the thing themselves, but that's just part of this adventure
known as Linux!
