It's 03 May 96  11:41,
We'll return to cevher@ctt.bellcore.com and All's
discussion of Linux2Dos partition change

 ce> The question I have is: Can I reformat the linux partition to DOS-FAT
 ce> (or NT partition) partition or vice-versa? I want to make 2GB drive
 ce> to have NT and Linux patition on each half and reformat 540MB for DOS.

Yes.  Just use the appropriate fdisk for the OS you want to install.
Delete the Linux partition(s), create new partitions for the new OS
(i.e. DOS, NT, etc), and reformat.  If you have (say) a DOS partition
you want to keep, just don't delete it with fdisk, and it'll remain
intact. :-)

... It's 11:56 pm. Do you know where your modem is?
