I'm looking at the installation notes for XOSL and it says you have to create a partition for it manually. That's the whole problem, I can't create a partition on the first disk. For whatever reason Partition Magic will not let me move/resize the two Linux ext2 partitions that are there, but it will let me partition the Linux ext2 partition on the second drive.
On the first drive it even lists those partitions as out of space. James On Tue, 2002-10-01 at 04:34, linux power wrote: > Download and install XOSL.
