[ale] partition magic is a piece of cake

Thanks to all who helped me with my paranoid Partition Magic questions.
Both it and Linux (slack 96, from a dos partition) installed like a dream.

A couple notes:

1.)  the boot manager that comes with PM *is* the OS/2 boot manager.  (this
may have been common knowledge, but it surprised me.  Haven't seen this baby
since OS/2 1.x.  or was it 2.0?)
It is quite adequate.

2.)  Don't forget to partition yourself a swap partition.  The PM manual
really doesn't cater to linux users whatsoever...
