[Nottingham] Mandrake 10, xp dual boot, designing an installation....

I have just tried PM8 on a partion with data
at the end. (Created with an antique version
of NUTs & Bolts.)
It resized the partion with no complaint.

Regarding formats: PM8 does Linux swap (if
you use it) and EXT2 & EXT3.
ReiserFS and such are off the radar.

Beware: fedora core 1 installer will not play
with my disk (partitioned with PM8.)
Dunno if FC2 is any happier.
Mandrake 9.2 and 10 are OK, SO LONG AS YOU
DON'T use diskdrake.
Just use the PM partitions.

(I seem to spend more time in PM than in
*indows [wonder why?])

Hope This Helps

Pete
