    I have a triple boot system, DOS, W2000, and RH 6.3. When I set it up
    originally (on an old computer), I allocated 0.5G, 2G, and 5.5G (RH) to
    the 8G drive. I've almost run out of space on the W stuff, and have
    barely used RH. I decided to see if I could get PM 8.0 to trim down the
    last partition (RH) from 5.5 to 3.5G. It seemed up to the task but as it

    was re-arranging the 3.5G partition it failed with a #702 error. I have
    no idea what that is. Anyway, I brought up RH successfully, I think. Is
    there anyway to tell? It went right into the desktop, and seemed OK. I
    turned the extra 2G into a FAT file and fed it to W2000. It likes it.

    Well, I did notice recently that when I logout and shutdown RH, I get
    some sort of error msg when in the text after the bailout from RH and X.
    It says something failed and I should report this to RH or someone. Hard
    to capture as the screen is rolling by on its final plunge into
    shutdown. Maybe there's a way to pause and caputre the text. I have no
    trouble restarting RH though.

    BTW, does PM have a newsgroup or Yahoo group? Their support via e-mail
    seems pretty poor. Lots of nonsensical admin details to ask a simple
    question.
