I've got a second hard drive with 10 partitions of approximately 2 gigs each. Can I change one of these partitions to Linux native and install Linux there? &nbsp;Do I use DOS fdisk to delete the partition first, and then Linux fdisk to create the Linux partition? &nbsp;What do I need to be careful about? Thanks
