Why do every one use Partition Magic*.* if Linux has it's own fdisk to use
it and it's not that bad to use here's how it works if you want to know how
it works (If I'm wrong please corrct me :) )

first start linux installation from the cdrom/floppy later on it will ask
you where to install the partition for the linux and swamp patition.

Then edit it and you will be in the fdisk off linux

There you will be able to patition the hdd to what you want it to be just
remember that you have to set the swamp to 128 mb ( It can be smaller than
128 but not bigger ) if you don't know how to install Linux with out a
swamp.

Ok now how do you use it here's how:

type "p" to see what is the patition's on your hdd.
type "d" to delete a patition that you don't want.
type "n" to add a partition to the hdd.
type "t" to set the patition off the linux and off the swap.
for the linux it is 83 and for the swap it is 82 ( I may be wrong but it is
that two well one off the two that is)

then you type "w" to write it and exit it and then you have to set the
patition actief with a "\" then you are set to install linux on a hdd with
dif patitions

I hope I got it write if I didn't please let me know I just hope that this
will solf all the installation problem's for people.

Live for Linux Linux will Live for you!!!!
