Hello All, from The Other
Dennis, the CDs arrived. Thank you.
3 hours of 37 different combinations of installing, and the Kernel
package failed to install each time. Same results with the replacement

You're right about a messy defrag with this option
on.
What I do is run Defrag in Safe Mode and leave
the checks in place. But, before defragging, I run
Scan Disk and then right after defragging, I run
Scan Disk again. (the old BELT and SUSPENDERS
philosophy).
Then, I use Partition
Does anyone know of a partition tool in Linux that can resize a partition

One other note to this - yes, run the defragger, but ensure you have
deselected the option to place data and programs to optimize
performance - something similar to that anyway - at least in 98. If you

very end of your

no swap. Can someone tell me why swap isn't listed.
df is DiskFree. This will only show you the diskspace that is available to
the users on the system. Swap is a system resource, you can't use it to

No, I am not saying that a reinstall is certain, just wanted you to be

Then allocate at least 2 GB for root / and at least 500 MB for /home. It's
