Win98/Linux partition (+ UAE)
« on: March 26, 2003, 04:05:32 PM »
I wonder if anyone had any advice...
I got a new laptop at the weekend. It has a 20gb HD and came with Win98 installed. The last time I partitioned a drive it was my university machine, but now I want to try using Linux and also i want to start using UAE. So the questions are:
Where do I get partition software from (preferably free!)
Is there any disadvantage to having loads of partitions

I would like a boot partition for Win98, a data partition (could this be accessed by Windows, Linux and WinUAE if it is using the PC file format, how about FAT16, FAT32?), and a Linux boot partition.
Also, does it make any difference if I have a separate swap partition, or can I have this as part of the Linux partition?

Sorry for all the Qs, and I'm sorry it's PC related!
Cheers
