Mainly with partitions, like is there any way that I can use the 500 unused megs sitting on my new hard drive to set up free bsd? It's already partitioned as an extended dos, for windows 95, but I thought fips would let me resize it.. I guess I was wrong.. Any suggestion short of killing the entire drive and starting over? (If this would be more better suited to a different newsgroup, I apologize) Aaron
