Since I have a writable incoming directory on an ftp site, it is basically suicidal to use a single partition, esp. when the disk is nearly full. So this time I want to use "real" partitioning, as mentioned in the FAQ. Now Chris D's instructions are what I am attempting to follow, but unfortunately he assumes a level of expertise that I have not achieved yet. I may very well make my way through his list, but I recall that some kind soul had posted a neat-o "fdisk" utility to make my job easier. If anyone has that file, i would very much appreciate getting a copy of it since I have lost, destroyed or misplaced mine in some fashion.
