Master of Reality:
is there a quick and easy Graphic partitioning tool that would have came with my red hat 7.2?

Master of Reality:
how can i make a fat (vfat) partition using linux??

iancom:
If you're after a graphical partitioning tool, have a look at Webmin (http://www.webmin.com) - it does pretty much everything else as well. (RPMs available for almost the easiest install I've ever seen on Linux...)

However, I do recommend you at least get to know the basics of fdisk - you'll appreciate why the first time you have to use your rescue disk!

Master of Reality:
of all the things i like webmin for... partitioning isnt one of them. It doesnt show hdb1, and for some reason it wont let me add a partition to the end of hda1 (i have 1.2 GB unpartitioned (free).

If you have free space, boot off your win CD
and tell it to load with CDROM support.
Then:
C:\>fdisk
(Fdisk will start)
Create a primary partition in the space and make it active, then exit, wait for you cache to flush...
Reboot.
Boot of CD again.
Just tell it not too WIPE OTHER OS's when it asks.
And you should be able to install it.
But 1.2gig is unnessesary for a DVD player partition. You should leave 200mb for DR-DOS and load on Arachne
Ar-rac-ne is how you say it, but there is also Caldera Webspyder as well.

fdisk says that my primary hard drive is 100% taken up by a non-msdos partition, it says that for my secondary harddrive too, which has 19 GB free.

Doesnt DR-DOS cost money?
