Deleting partitions?
 
I am trying to install Slack 10.1 on my 60GB drive (notebook) and when I type the command:

Code:
fdisk -l
/dev/hda1    1  6000 48194999+  83  Linux
/dev/hda2 6001 7296 10410120    82  Linux swap
How do I tell Linux to delete these 2 partitions so I can start from scratch? I am not mounting the partition as I am booting from the Slackware disk to see this.

Thanks for any help.

try cfdisk

should be installed

cfdisk /dev/hda1 or just the command cfdisk?

cfdisk /dev/hda

the 1 is the partition number, you want to work with the whole drive

Wow, cfdisk is very nice to make or create partitions!
