Adding drive space

[Michael Paul Friedlander <mpf leland Stanford EDU>]

I am planning to install Tex and Latex on my machine, but need additional
drive space to do so (I didn't realize how large Tex was).

This is my current setup:


Filesystem         1024-blocks  Used Available
Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda2             124927   92071    26405     78%   /
/dev/hda1            1433120  668160   764960     47%   /dos
/dev/hda4             452805  206906   222514     48%   /usr
/dev/hdb              644324  644324        0    100%   /mnt/cdrom

I would like to take 200 MB from the dos partition and use if for Linux.
If someone could please let me know the best way to do this.  I was going
to set aside the 200 MB from /dos using Partition Magic, and then format
it using the Linux fdisk.  After that, I'm not sure what are the next
steps.

A second question:  I was planning on using Latex (and I assume I also
need to install teTex).  However, on my Redhat cdrom I also saw an
application called Lout.  Has anybody had any experience with this
application, and could it be used as a substitute for Latex (it takes up
considerably less space than Latex and teTex)? 

I am a graduate student and need to start learning an application that
will allow me to produce technical papers.  It's my understanding that
Latex and Tex are the standards.


Thanks for the help.
