moving linux partitions

[Hewitt Tech]

Although Partition Magic is mostly well behaved, be careful using something
like the Partition manager that's included with Mandrake. That partition
manager doesn't play well with Windows as I found out the hard way. It marks
extended partitions incorrectly and when Windows tries to access it, shazam,
the entire partition table is blown away! I believe the most recent versions
of the Mandrake distro correct this but I think it's worth mentioning.
