I'm having some installation problems.  Mainly with partitions, like
is there any way that I can use the 500 unused megs sitting on my new
hard drive to set up free bsd?  It's already partitioned as an extended
dos, for windows 95, but I thought fips would let me resize it.. I 
guess I was wrong..  Any suggestion short of killing the entire drive
and starting over?  (If this would be more better suited to a different
newsgroup, I apologize)
