You can run DS on the DOS partition, but Linux will not be able to access
those files with it's MS-DOS filesystem. I don't know what the sway
partition is for, does that rock the disk? :-) BTW, Stacker is better,
in case nobody told you. <double grin>

Nope. Welllllll, maybe. I have a program FIPS08.ZIP that I found on
a BBS, it will shrink a disk partition if it's the only one on the disk.
