Subject: partitioning drive
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2004 08:02:48 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040323130248.GA10357@panix.com> (raw)


i was just delivered a lovely preinstalled system.  

[root@tuxedo shino]# uname -a
Linux tuxedo 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl #1 Wed Oct 29 15:31:21 EST 2003 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

the only
problem is that it has only one data partition.  what i'd
really like is 5-6 partitions something like:

/
/home
/local
/data
/boot2
/swap

what's my best best to make this happen?  fips?    fdisk?
disk druid?  something on the fedora install disks?

this is what it looks like now.

[root@tuxedo shino]# df -m
