Does anyone know a good partitioning program other than fips >>or Partition Magic? Fips doesn't seem to work and I can't get PM. This is a quote from a friend of mine, who is a retired Linux pro. "Mandrake has the best The Very Best partitioning/resizing manager in the universe. I use the Mandrake CD to prepartition Windows machines, FreeBSD machines, OpenBSD machines etc etc. I just do a ctrl-alt-backspace to get out of the install once the partitioning has been committed and written to disk. I prepared 50 machines at the university for BSD installs using the partitioning manager on the Mandrake CD." I hope this helps. I know it to be true too, as I have Mandrake 8.2 on my second drive, and it partitioned flawslessly. Richard Quick God Bless you and may the Lord season your dreams.
