That depends, 11am tea or 5pm tea? :)

I have partition magic and it is good for fiddling with fat32. I
was more enquiring as to automation of the /,/usr,/home,/tmp slicing
up that has to go on. Most of use are experienced with installing
Win9x (well, I should say re-installing then wiping then
re-installing and hoping it doesn't screw up then re-installing, then
screaming) but for *nix I have very little experience. I installed
Turbo Linux - right first time, all OK. Installed 3 machines with
FreeBSD - right first time, all OK. I suppose that its like fsck and
similar recovery tools - used so rarely (as opposed to scandisk) that
experience isn't a word to use. Anything that allows the option to
heavily automate is a boon. Well, fsck is fairly automatic anyway.

regards

Chris
