I have a 286 clone running 2.2.2 SCO Xenix. when I first installed the system,
I set aside a 6meg DOS partition. as it turns out, I never use DOS, and I
need the space on the Xenix side (I only have a single 40meg drive). is
there a way to either a) incorporate this space into the Xenix partition,
or b) turn it into a Xenix partition and mount it where I need it? I'd
like to avoid reinstalling the whole thing.

on a side note, I skimped on the swap size and subsequently panic due to
out of swap on a fairly regular basis. any tricks to expanding that?

my current setup looks like:

fdisk:
Current Hard Disk Drive: /dev/rhd00
	+-------------+----------+---------+----------+--------+---------+
	| Partition   | Status   | Type    | Start    | End    | Size    |
	+-------------+----------+---------+----------+--------+---------+
	| 1           | Inactive | DOS     | 1        | 749    | 749     |
	| 2           | Active   | XENIX   | 750      | 4884   | 4135    |
	+-------------+----------+---------+----------+--------+---------+
Total disk size: 4885 tracks, (6 reserved for masterboot and diagnostics)

apologies if I'm in the wrong group, I don't get comp.unix.xenix.sco here.
I also have very little documentation, it's probably here, just scattered
everywhere, so be verbose please :-)
