[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.
