I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. I only use Partition Magic to
move the DOS stuff around (or for deleting the old Linux if you're going
to do a clean install). I don't use it to make/modify Linux partitions.
Linux's fdisk is great for creating the partitions you need for Linux. I
tried Disk Druid when I installed RH5.0, but it didn't show the now
empty partition where Linux used to reside. Fdisk didn't have a lick of
trouble (and I've got *those* commands memorized).
