hello,
i've just recieved my slackware 7.0 cd and boot disk in the mail.
i'm really happy....but i cant use it yet.

i need to partition my harddrive first, and i was told there is a program
called something like "fips" or somethign that can do this, instead of using
a windows program to partition my drive.

once i get that done i would appreciate it if someone could point me in the
right direction for installing it.

thanks
