Disk Druid is Red Hat http://www.google.com/lynux Partititions are created with disk druid, fdisk or partition magic. Unix like filesystems are created with mkfs (make filesystem). It has it varients. There is is mkfs, mkfs.bfs, mkfs.ext2, mkfs.ext, mkfs.minix, mkfs.msdos, mkfs.vfat, mkfs.xfs, mkfs.xiafs. ============================================================================= Other than Partition Magic which can create ext2 partitons what is available. I now have backed up my legacy box and want to use either 7.3 or 8+ depending on the problems. In attempts with 8.0 It kept incisting on using four primary partitions. I have one primary to boot legacy and one containing extended partions for d: through h: This box has only a CDR the other has the CDRW. Should I install direct or install on the second box and do a network load?
