Hello,

My employer provided me with a Thinkpad A20m, with Win98 installed.  I
convinced them to put Linux on it as well (Slackware), but am now trying
to figure out how to reduce the size of the FAT32 partition to get more
room for Linux stuff (/usr, /home).  I have tried FIPS and fsresize,
both of which exit with some message about problems in some upper
sector/cluster.  Scandisk and dosfschk indicate everything is fine.  

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

John.
