Rohit wrote, Kaushik, have you tried this first hand? Is this what you do to your filesystem on a regular basis? Is this an efficient way to partition? >Since no filesystem from your hard disk is mounted ,when you boot from the CD during installation,there's no possibility of anything going wrong ,unless of course if you make any mistakes and delete the DOS partions.You can install linux again(the people who asked said they had failed to install X properly.)in which case you'll have brand new partitions. YES ! I've tried this first hand twice. This is only a solution,you might tackle it in a different way. I've suggested a way ,with the existing tools that you may have. It's not an inefficient system the Rem partition button is provided just for that. and it's sometimes necessary to do this to your or whoever's filesystem if there's some problem during installation ...Like : 1.Power failure 2.Incomplete installation etc.. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on the LIH mailing list see: http://lists.linux-india.org/lists/LIH
