That particular install was Mandrake 7.1, however, 7.2 is out now and is much better. I suggest using that. It doesn't use partition magic to resize the partitions though, I think it uses a form of fips. In any case, it worked very well. Just click on the windows partition, click resize, and move the slider down to whatever size you want. Then click on your freed up space and create your linux partitions, it's very simple. I didn't have any problems, but I make no guarantees, back up your important data first. :) Jay > -----Original Message----- > From: Christopher Gahlon [mailto:cgahlon at citilink.com] > Sent: Friday, December 29, 2000 4:19 PM > To: tclug-list at lists.real-time.com > Subject: Re: [TCLUG] Windoze 2K woes... > > > Thanks Jay! > > What version of Mandrake did you use? > > I've got to keep a copy of windows for work reasons.
