I suggest increasing / to 10-15Mb, then putting everything but /home there. I
find this leaves me plenty of room to modify an installed system. If you

Keeping /home separate allows you to destroy / and leave your persona

Michael,
You may want to try the expert install and do the partitioning manually
instead of letting the software do it. It sounds like there's something
about your hardware that the program doesn't like. doing the partitioning
isn't really difficult. It just looks a little scarey at first.

I think that you should go with the second scheme.
(I heard that Mandrake 7.1 solves this problem, though)
Anyway the /boot partition shouldnt be too large either... Somebody more

Hi all-
Is there a FAQ sheet for partitioning disks?
I have a 20GB disk. 1/2 is WinBlows98, and the other is Linux.
Apparently I had the Win partition too large, so that the boot
record for Linux wouldn't reside in a lower cylinder than 1024.
So, I shrunk my Microsnot partition, no problem
When the setup program is says it is resizing the
widows partion, is it just using the empty space for a new partion or does it
actual uninstall applications?
Thank you
evan

you can find a stripped down version of Partition Magic 4 that works in DOS.

You can do the clean wipe as part of a new install.
Take a Windows 98 startup disk (get a friend to make one if you
have 95 or else install your CDROM driver to a win95 boot disk).
Boot with CDROM support enabled.
From DOS:
A>D:: (Could be E:, depending on where your CD got
assigned)
(and you
Linux.
(Actually I used a Debian bootable CD, but same idea.)

Does anyone know of any program that will work in dos, or win95 that I can
get off the internet that will lwet me delete a linux partition??? I have an
exteded partition on my system with linux on it, and I want to wipe the
whole system and start over, but I can't even get it to reboot with my
ori
Thanks to everybody who helped me.
The problem is solved.

Hallo,
I have enjoyed some months Mandrake 5.3 on a 3.2Gb disk partitioned as follows:
2,1Gb windows part. 'C'
400Mb windows part. 'D'
700Mb Linux partitions
Now I got Mandrake 6.0 and I tried to partion my hard disk this way:
2.1Gb windows part. 'C'
1.1Gb Linux partitions
With DiskDruid I canc
ions clear. If not,
rebuke me and make me try again.
Good luck.

I have Mandrake 6.0 that came with Partition Magic, and after using it,
everything installs fine, but when it's time to dual boot (it came with Boot
Magic too) , it seems like it doesn't see Linux on the new partition. It just
hangs when tryign to boot Linux. Anyone suggetions would be greatly
