Re: partitioning drive

[Rei Shinozuka <shino@panix.com>]

by the way, i backed up the system using mondoarchive.

also, the reason i'd rather not reinstall from scratch is
that there an all-in-wonder video card, and other various
drivers installed and working perfectly now. i am fairly certain
i would blow at least a weekend reinstalling all of that and getting
it to work (and weekends are hard to come by with a 2, 5, and 6-year
old running about).

thanks again!
