Hi all, Hmm. Is it possible to repartition an NTFS disk? I came to the conclusion I'd have to remove Windows XP, reset partitions and install it again; I opted for a second disk instead. I don't have half the space Angus does, though. I think Rafael is mistaken on one point: On my computer (Red Hat 8) it recognizes the NTFS file system but cannot read files on it as far as I can tell; at least not in kernel 2.4.20-8. Maybe some extra package... If you know how to burn ISO images, you might do well to download Red Hat 9. 7.x is getting pretty old, though going to 9 gives you only four months(!) extra update support. You can learn how to burn these if you have an advanced CD writing program and your hardware doesn't get in the way (mine did; I had to temporarily uninstall my SCSI driver, for example). I don't have the complicated partition structure Rafael suggested, but as far as I can tell there's no way to upgrade from one version of Red Hat to another without using the complete CD set. There is an upgrade option in the install program which I haven't used, but presumably you need all three Cd's to use it. Does this eliminate the benefit of all those partitions? Red Hat 8 has Speakup as part of the base system so you can give Speakup options to the install program; 7.x and 9 don't so you'll have to either use the serial port (called ttyS0 instead of COM1 in Linux) or build/download some boot diskettes - easier for speech than Braille. You're lucky. I'm jealous! <Grin> Hope this helps but doubt that it does, Lee _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
