You "can" do this during an install process when you've booted from the Mandrake install CD. I've found this method to be quite easy and quick. Especially when dealing with badly behaved partitions that just don't seem to want to do what you want them to do. fdisk is out of the question because it's just not powerful enough. If you're considering using FIPS then the situation warrents the use of something powerful. diskdrake definately fits here and allows for much more control then FIPS. -- daRcmaTTeR --------------------------------------------------------------------- If at first you don't succeed do what your wife told you to do the first time!
