- I have a 286 clone running 2.2.2 SCO Xenix. when I first installed the system,
- I set aside a 6meg DOS partition. as it turns out, I never use DOS, and I
- need the space on the Xenix side (I only have a single 40meg drive). is
- there a way to either a) incorporate this space into the Xenix partition,
- or b) turn it into a Xenix partition and mount it where I need it? I'd
- like to avoid reinstalling the whole thing.
-
- on a side note, I skimped on the swap size and subsequently panic due to
- out of swap on a fairly regular basis. any tricks to expanding that?
-
- my current setup looks like:
-
- fdisk:
- Current Hard Disk Drive: /dev/rhd00
- +-------------+----------+---------+----------+--------+---------+
- | Partition | Status | Type | Start | End | Size |
- +-------------+----------+---------+----------+--------+---------+
- | 1 | Inactive | DOS | 1 | 749 | 749 |
- | 2 | Active | XENIX | 750 | 4884 | 4135 |
- +-------------+----------+---------+----------+--------+---------+
- Total disk size: 4885 tracks, (6 reserved for masterboot and diagnostics)

- apologies if I'm in the wrong group, I don't get comp.unix.xenix.sco here.
- I also have very little documentation, it's probably here, just scattered
- everywhere, so be verbose please :-)
