Adam:

This is for the mailing list;

Red Hat comes with a graphical hard drive partitioning software called
Disk Druid, which is recommended by other Thinkpad users and the Red Hat
community at large for new Linux users. As an experienced user, I used
Disk Druid to set up the hard drive on my A22p and 600E so that the
drive could be swapped between both machines without problems.
