I have a doublespaced hda1 and in an extended partition I have hda5 
(dblspc), hda6 and 7 (plain msdos), hda8 is native linux, and hda9 is linux 
swap.
I would like to concatenate hda7 and hda8 (without losing in on current 
hda8 - I don't care about hda7), and use the concat. as the native linux (so 
I guess it would become a new hda7, and swap would become hda9).
How can I do this? Is there something I must do in DOS6.2, or in linux, or 
both?
I've looked at fips, but it doesn't seem suitable - or did I misunderstand 
it?
All help would be appreciated.
