Hi Mark and Otto,
First I'd like to thank both of you for the outstanding assistance on my
"partition" experience! It was an interesting exercice.
Now that lost I Mandrake, I don't feel like installing it again.
Let it be... (John Lennon)
I had a hard time, reinstalling WinXP for my kids, today.
I still have to take care about a new MBR to make RH9 boot.
(I now use a floppy to boot.)
I noticed WinXP 'rearranged' the partition table.
So, HD9 fails to install the swap partition hda4 while booting.
[root dimension etc]# cat fstab
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda4 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda7 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
[root dimension etc]#
I suppose I can do without swap. 'top' says I don't use it.
Besides, I have plenty of DRAM (512MB).
But I would like to 'clean up' that messy disk. Can this be done using
some REDHAT tools? PartitionMagic has made me think twice before jumping
into another adventure. I'd rather not use it again.
Albert
