Some more details...
I had Windows 98 installed, resized the partition with FIPS (~8GB for
Windows and ~31 for Psyche) then ran scandisk with Windows 98,
everything went OK. I then started installing the Psyche and using diskdruid
deleted the ~31 GB partition and created the / , /boot and swap partition in
the ~31GB free space I had (Now I have some ~30GB)
The problem was trying to create the additional /usr/ and usr/local partition with
the DiskDruid... I think it should work as I did that in another machine, a P4 with
80GB and also dual boot with Windows (that is running pretty well !).
I actually have seen the /usr/ and /usr/local/ directories under / but I supposed
that is the default installation of the server version... should I, maybe re-install
and allow all the remaining space (the ~30GB) to the / partition ?
Thanks !

Hi,
How many partitions do you already have on the disk? If you have two
primary partitions on there already, you can add only two more--4 is all
it will support. I ran into this with an oem installed system that uses
a primary partition for backing up the os, etc. There are some
partitioning products that are supposed to let you add more primaries,
but I haven't used them.
Good luck,
