What kind of a father would send his daughter off to college deprived of Linux? Set up the dual boot for the child. The easiest way is to stick another HD in the box dedicated to Mandrake. (No repartitioning necessary). If that is not practical, then go the repartitioning route. I understand that a freeware/shareware partition manipulator called Ranish Partition Manager (www.ranish.com/) works quite well. Come to think of it, I've never heard of any problems with Mandrake's repartitioning tool (DiskDrake?) either. Ooops, you didn't mention an anti-virus program. Or is that included in the Norton package? -- cmg (who is grateful that his offspring finished college when CP/M was still in flower)
