Hi all,

I recently installed Red Hat (InfoMagic April 1997 ed) on my PC.  I had
problems with creating a partition for Linux.  Reason being, windows 95
installed on the PC had a 32 bit(block???) instead of 16bit.  So what I
did I used DOS fdisk to create a partition. I got a 3.2Gb HD. So I
partitioned Primary(1) to be approx 2.Gb. and the remaining as a
extended partition(2).  I installed Linux on the second partition.  What
I want to is change the second partition to about 500Mb instead of
approx 1.0 Gb. I used CMOS preformat(?) to format the harddrive and
remove all partitions(dos and Linux).  It didn't work.  Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance...
Regards,

Alex
