need help installing Fedora using partition magic

[Zbigniew Koziol]

When I hear about Partition Magic on a Linux list, I wonder: who is asking?

True, it is easier for a newbie to use PM than fips. But one ought to 
pay for PM. For fips no. Fips is not easy to learn nor simple for a 
medium-experienced Linux user. But when I had choice between the two I 
could not resit fips: just as a chalange. And yes, I reformated HD of a 
comp I am using, with fips (the comp is not owned by me at all and it is 
worth more than 4000 C$). Now I have both windows and linux there. 
Risky? Yes. Now though during my life I will not buy PM - I will use 
fips only.
