Re: [Plug] Formatting ext2

["Nick R" <laktar@hotmail.com>]

Use fdisk for Linux. Just type:
$ fdisk /dev/hda (or whatever drive you want to do)
Command (m for help): p (that'll print the drive information)
Command (m for help): d
Partition number (1-4): 1 (or whatever your Linux partition is)
Command (m for help): w
& then you're done unless you want to create another Fat32 partition to use 
up all the room. Then before you enter w you'll want to put:
Command (m for help): n
& select primary or extended and put in a number and then use
Command (m for help): t
and selecty type 6 & then maybe do:
Command (m for help): a on that partition so it's bootable.
