partitioning question
So, assuming there is a partitioning problem, how can I append the "none" empty space to the /dev/hda6? Because /dev/shm is your RAM, (Random Acess Memory). [shm = shared memory] Please help. Thanks MW PS: Other question, I mounted /home/space again, as database for the ftp server. I tried to mount read-only,

Copy to Jaz, partition and initialise the HD, copy back. If you're using OS9, and you give your new OS9 partition the same name as your HD has now, not only will everything work immediately, but all your aliases, scripts and Applescripts will be intact. It's like magic. It also takes very little time to do- well

Partitioning Question
Since you have an empty 3.7G space, I would ordinarily say to fdisk, delete the 3.7G partition, create a 2G temporary partition of about 2.1G at the end of the disk, then copy everything over from /dev/hda1 to this new /dev/hda5. Then the fun begins--fdisk again, making /dev/hda1 the size you want it (3G?

Linux and FreeBSD partitioning question.
With the prices of hard drives why bother with a partition. I have them but one was set up on the computer when it was purchased. It does contain the Windows files and other setup files for the current system I'm using. They do have their uses such as putting all install programs on a separate partition,

General partitioning question & FAT32.IFS
IIRC the question is much more interesting if one requires the intersections to be empty. The answers, even for S^2 involve esoteric shapes. For S^1, answers include half-open arcs. The orange slice partition consisting of n slices is just an n-gon "projected" onto the Sn. I have not thought about it enough,

Partitioning question
I'd like to be able to use my graphics software (Photoshop, 3D Studio Max, etc) under an NT partition, and use a Windows 98 partition for other apps, like gaming. My question is, can files be readily shared between partitions? Will I have to install Netscape, for example, into both OSs to use it in either NT or 98?

Partitioning question / the Program Files folder
Eg, there's the orange-slice partition of S^2. Also, you can This works in higher dimensions also. Assign a points to slices based on their projections onto sectors in the (X1, X2) plane. For S^2 this gives you orange-slices. For S^3 and up, you get higher dimensional fruit. So I suppose my more general question

I will be re-partitioning my drive to install it. I thought that I would create an additional partition for Virtual PC (I don't have it yet, but I plan to use it).

Can anyone help me with a Disk Partitioning question?
The /var partition is going to suffer high fragmentation, which is one reason it should be a separate partition, but that also makes it a great place for /tmp to physically be located. Both /tmp and /usr/tmp should be symlinks to /var/tmp. How would I symlink /tmp and /usr/tmp to /var/tmp when they seem to be
