Note
The following information is specific to Intel-based computers only.
As a convenience to Red Hat Linux users, the DOS fips utility is included on the Red Hat Linux/Ita-
nium CD 1 in the dosutils directory. This is a freely available program that can resize FAT (File
Allocation Table) partitions.
WARNING
Many people have successfully used fips to resize their hard drive par-
titions. However, because of the nature of the operations carried out by
fips and the wide variety of hardware and software configurations un-
der which it must run, Red Hat cannot guarantee that fips will work
properly on your system. Therefore, no installation support is available
for fips. Use it at your own risk.
