Iz,
I hope you are on to something here, but the *first* time I used fdisk and
had that option and choose "NO" it logically showed me the full amount and
then asked me how much (in mb or %) did I want for *that* partition.

Don't think the program arbitarily chooses how big your first partition can
be.

I am using OSR2 and understand about going back and using the remaining as
an extended partition and creating logical drives within it.  But it gave
me *only* 1811mb to  _start_ with, not 6g like it should have and did the
first time.

Will fool with it again Wednesday and see what happens.

Thanks,   Nick R.
