Ok, I am trying to partition my HD but I don't understand what is
going on here. With 9.3 It was easy to understand, but now I am
confused it says

device       size   type                       start   end
/dev/hda    55.8   hts58060m91t00     0        7294
/dev/hda1  43.8   HPFS/NTFS           0        5728
/dev/hda2  11.9   Extended               5729   7294
/dev/hda5  11.9   Win95 FAT16         5729   7294

I thought that /dev/hda was the MBR so I don't see how it is 55.8 gb. 
Now i can understand why /dev/hda1 is 43.8 gig because I set it that
big.

THe most confusing point is the extended and the win95 partitions are
both set to 11.9gig and i cant seem to removee either to change it. 
Does anyone have any suggestions?  I need to dual boot this system,
but don't want to resize it.  I need the 11.9 gig to be the suse
partition.  I also can't remove the windows partition at all. Any
ideas and help would be appreicated.
