Re: Repartition Format

[PATRICK DAHIROC <patd@wam.umd.edu>]

Hi
 
 I've just finished repartition my hard drive using FIPS and have confirmed
 that the partition was done, but the new partition doesn't seem to be
 formatted.  I am a little bit confused how to format the new drive. Do I:
 
 	(a) - Format the new drive first in DOS then boot Linux from the
 		CD.
 				or
 	(b) - Format the new drive using the Linux fdisk, then boot Linux.
 
 My new disk space for Linux is around 700MB could provide a nice way of
 dividing this for Linux, (i.e how much do I reserve for root, swap disk (i
 have 16MB RAM), usr, etc).
 
 How do I directly boot off the CD? From DOS or Win95?
 
 Thanks
 Patrick
