I have come too far to re-install RH8.0 again. It depends on how your partitions are set up. If your Linux partitions are at the beginning of the drive, then you might be able to do so using parted: http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/ You would have to resize/move the Linux partitions such that there was more space for the fat32 partition, and then resize that partition into the new space. If your Linux partitions follow the fat32 partition, then you probably can't do it without Partition Magic, which you probably need more space on your fat32 drive to install. It should take more than just Windows 98 and MS Office to fill 2 GB. If you're out of drive space (and thus, out of swap space) under Windows, you probably should re-assess how you're using it, and how the partitioning should be done. If you have 2 GB of software on there, you probably want another GB of space, at least. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
