Re: Disk partitioning

[Bob Young <youngrobert juno com>]

At the risk of being accused of talking to myself ...  :-)

I corrected the problems by using Linux's fdisk to delete the Linux
partitions, then using the Win98 fdisk to re-write the master boot
record, then re-partition with PartitionMagic, then re-install Linux
using expert mode so I could control everything the Linux install did.
Now, everything's working the way it should. This is my first Linux
install and so far I like what I see.
