I don't see anything that looks like that option, but am not really familiar with (c)fdisk.
I didn't really want to mess with finding and installing a free partitioning application in win98, I want slackware 9.1 to be the first distro installed after win98 (win98 is already installed and the entire drive is fat32)
If not (c)fdisk then can I use my mandy 9.2 installation disk to do the resizing but exit the install ( keeping the resized partition ) without trashing everything, then carry on with installing slackware?
I know resizing is risky but I'd give it a shot anyway.
Any other options (that don't include reinstalling win98 right off the bat )?

Thank you kindly for any help.

Yes, I've used the Mandrake partition tool that way. You need to go all the way to the point where it starts to install files before quiting. Then of course you can blip the new partition and start fresh with Slack.

Thanks homey,
That sounds good to me.
I'm going to give it a whirl.

Of course you know the standard warnings.... use at your own risk!
If you have anything really important, back it up first.

Edit: Maybe defrag and scandisk would be a good idea also.

Worked like a charm. I was very suprised, but slackware was the smoothest install I've had so far out of mandy 9.1, mandy 9.2, jamd, knoppix and freebsd.
Of course that doesnt mean I know how to use it yet, but the install was sure smooth.

Thanks again homey.

Glad ya got it!

That's because slack rulez!
