Right now the configuration on my computer is:
Windoze 95 on master 4.3g UDMA hard drive and=20
linux and swap on a puny little 830mg hardrive. Well as you can guess I =
have ran out of room. So I would like to change it to this =
configuration.

Hard drive A UDMA master 4.3=3D3.3 partition for Windoze and a 1gig =
partion for linux.

Hard drive B slave 830meg=3D800 meg partition for linux and 30 meg =
partion for swap.

Ok, I've heard of a technique called striping two harddrives when I was =
configuring a kernel. As far as I can understand striping causes two =
partition to show up as one and double the throughput by pingponging the =
data betweent the two. I hope I'm right here. So the question is : is it =
possible to stripe the 1 gig linux partion on drive A and the 800 meg =
partition on drive B? If it is, how? If not, what else can I do? Please =
I need detailed instructions since I'm not a wise as you allknowing =
Linux gurus. So basically, I need to know how to stripe two partions =
together.

Thank you I advance,
Tri

PS: If your wondering why windoze gets the big and buff partition, its =
because it's a fat a** os anyway, so I know linux can handle the leaner =
one. But windoze will soon find it's way out.=20
