Re: [orca-list] The Partitioner In The Latest Version of Ubuntu

["EARL ZWICKER" <e zwicker sympatico ca>]

I appreciate knowing that the partitioner is accessible.  Like I said in my 
original post, I am new to ubuntu and Orca, so some step-by-step 
instructions would be greatly appreciated.  I see check boxes by each drive, 
and I think I also see check boxes by each partition, but I'm not exactly 
sure, so more help would be great.  How can I actually size the partitions, 
and how can I make sure not to lose the partition that already has data on 
it?

Thanks

Earle
