The system's processor is an old pentium 100, it has 16M memory. I have a 2gig harddrive, that is split down the middle. Since noone has told me to re-install windows on my debian system, I want to free up 900M for my use, leaving 100M for what little DOS stuff I use. My debian installation is part potato, part woody. The kernel is a custom compilation of 2.4.16. Although X is installed, I don't use it. I haven't been able get it work since I upgraded to X4 (display problems). > Do you have used parted with root-user or not?
