I've just purchased 'Linux for Dummies' with the Redhat 5.2 distribution. In the Fips.exe I try to decrease the amount of space in the old partition and increase it in the new partition, but it will only let me decrease the amount in the old and 'increase' the amount in the old. Also, in disk druid, I am a little confused. I have Win98 using FAT32. Under the 'type' in the mount point row I do not see either a Linux native or Linus Swap, only the FAT32. I don't know how to change this. I have tried doing so in the edit menu to no avail. I should note here that disk druid is telling me I have 2 mount points, both of them are FAT32. The first line has about 12200+\- MB will the other has only 98+\-. Should I go to the delete menu and wreak havoc on it? I really want to try linux and keep Win98 on my current machine (a 486\66) while I evaluate linux. If I like it I'll dump Win98. Help, please!
