I think the mount command might get what you want. If not, maybe dh. I've
used a system set up with LVM a little, but not enough to remember
precisely.

I noticed after installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4
(Nahant) last week when I do a fdisk -l that the automatic partitioning
might not have done such a good job of partitioning out my 200 GIG HD.

what's my best best to make this happen? fips?fdisk?
disk druid? something on the fedora install disks?
None of the above unless you have some unpartitioned room on the disk in

AFAIK fips is for FAT partitions (msdos)
fdisk is only for creating new (when there is room) and delet

Anshu,
Are you doing okay with Linux fdisk in your partitioning?
I could have mentioned that there are at least two parts
to what you will be doing.
First, you will be using fdisk to set up your partitions.
Linux boot and root partitions will be made native Linux

Please remember to start a new threat when the topic changes, especially as if
the new topic is so dramtically different as in this case. For those of us
