Greetings again !

Thanks to all for previous help.

Running RedHat4.2, I have physically installed a 2nd HD [5.7Meg].

I wish to put several different filesystems on it including other
Operating Systems.

I did the following:
	mkfs -t ext2 -c /dev/hdb 
	mount /dev/hdb /space
	cd /space
and all seems OK.

Questions:
	1-Is this the only way, that is mounted with hda as root, that 			
linux can know of this drive ?
	
	2-How can I now divide it up into say.... hdb1, hdb2,.... ?
	
	3-What's the easiest way to install other Op Systems also onto 				it ?

	4-Do you have any other advice/suggestions about optional usage 

Cordially,
