Hi,
I'm also trying to put miniRTL on IDE. I'm stuck at the very first
step!
My hard-disk (hda) has an ext2 filesystem. I would like to know if
I can make an msdos fs on hda1 without affecting the present system. I had
checked cfdisk, fdisk and sfdisk utilities, but I'm missing something. Can
you please help?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Ramesh
