Re: [newbie] Using Mandrake's GUI install components after install?
If you buy a copy of Upgrading repairing PCs: Linux edition by Que publishing you will get a free FULL version of partition magic and boot magic. The book costs 47.99 at amazon right now. ISBN # 0789720752 Its a great book. Dacia --- Carroll Grigsby [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Where can i get partion magic for free? The short answer is, "You can't."

Re: [newbie] Using Mandrake's GUI install components after install?
[snip] Which version of DiskDrake do you have? And does it work well? The version I have is the one that came with Mandrake 7.0 originally, and it trashes everything on the hard drive (except the partitions!) when I use it. [snip] HadrianI don't know the version number, but it came with mdk 7.1. I have not used it except during the installation of mdk 7.1 and then only to assign mount points to partitions that already existed. Alan
