I've just ordered Suse Linux 6.4 and I will be a first time Linux user. I'm quite happy to buy Partition Magic 5 if it's going to make life easier for me. I'd like to read some documentation on Linux Fdisk before I do though. Because I currently haven't got Linux, I can't read tarred and gzipped files ... and this is all I can find concerning Fdisk.
Does anyone know where I can get the Linux Fdisk documentation in a format (html, txt, zipped) that I can read please? Or could someone email it to me please?
You could give this a try. http://linuxdoc.org/ OTOH I'm pretty sure that there must be a dos or windows based gunzip program. http://www.gzip.org There should also be a tar program you could use. But the tarred stuff is likely just straight text so you can read a tar ball without untarring it. It might take a good text editor with a proper search function but worse case it should be possible. Getting back to Partition Magic. I've used version 3 and 4. They make life much much easier. I've used them under OS/2,windows,dos and Linux. Even if you feel comfortable with fdisk partition magic doesn't hurt. You don't need it but the fact you can use it under different OS makes it worth a little more IMHO.
