Hi,
I Hd-installed Knoppix 3.6 on a refurbed Pentium III/550 with existing Win98. The setup is:
/hda1 Win98 (~2Gb)
/hda5 Linux (~4Gb)
/hda6 Swap (~256kb)
I had similar problems regarding partitioning and had to cfdisk and mkfs.ext3 and mkswp by hand. Which was before I came across this forum... (!)Anyway, I digress!
I am planning in the hopefully not to distant future to have a go at "Linux from scratch" (cf. www.linuxfromscratch.org ), in order to learn the ins and outs of Linux, and perhaps, who knows?, even get a perfectly working end result! (Call me eager!)
I'm just wondering if I could use the existing Knoppix /swp partition when booting into another Linux implementation (e.g. Debian, SuSE, or LFS for that matter!)
If I can't do this, is there a quick way to split my /hda6 into two, or would I have to delete /swp, repartition the current /hda6 into two pieces and then install two separate /swp areas.
Hope someone can help,
Many thanks,
Tom
