checkout the following URL:

I'm pretty certain that I saw instructions there.

I am installing a new drive on my mandrake machine. I can use fdisk and
create a partition on the hard drive, but how do you format the partition?
Cant you use disk druid for this? If not is there a better utility to use
then fdisk?

Thanks,
Scott
