Hello Bill,
Personally, I would Partition Magic 6 for the entire computer. During
your installation of Linux, use the tool supplied by Mandrake.
I would recommend creating separate little partitions for the following:
/boot
/root
/usr
/swap
/home
In addition, you will find Partition Magic 6 reasonably safe and easy to
use. They also inlcude a wizard utility for patitioning.
It is compatible with win2K & winme and windows 95 and 98/98se.
