- I think there is an option in OS2 fdisk to enable or disable boot manager,
- and to delete the partition. However, it is nearly impossible to
- recombine the free space to any of the adjecent partitions on the disk
- without remaking the corresponding filesystem.
- As a replacement for the boot manager, there are different flavors of
- boot managers available (should be something about that in the FAQ(?)).
