It's been a long time since I created my dual boot machine.?? Now I
want to remove the windows portion and reclaim that disk space for Linux.
??
Is doing this as simple as removing lilo (lilo -u) and then running cfdisk
to delete the Win95 partition??and then create??a??new Linux
partition?
??
??
fdisk -l reports:
??
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2434 cylindersUnits = cylinders
of 16065 * 512 bytes
??
???? Device Boot??????
Start???????????? End??????
