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.
Â
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?
Â
Â
fdisk -l reports:
Â
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2434 cylindersUnits = cylinders
of 16065 * 512 bytes
Â
