I believe that you can do that.  I'm not a pro at setting up Linux, but I
just recently split my 5 gig hard drive and put linux on one of the
partitions using FIPS.  The drive that I split was also fat32, and I had no
problem at all....that is if you use the newest FIPS program.

I don't see why there would be a problem, but I'm just a beginner to Linux
and still trying to get my Xwindows setup :((
