Rebuilding a Linux box....from one partition to many]

[Antony Stace <antony@example.com>]

 Hi Folks

 I have a linux machine which has one partition on it.  There is a lot
of
 software on it.  What I want to do is repartition the hardrive into a
 couple of partitions(I want advice as to how many) and put Windows 98
on
 one partition and my exisiting Linux on the other ones.  What is the
 best way to go about this?  I don't want to have to install all the
software again since it would take ages, rather tar it up?? or something
similar and then just lay it down on the new partitions.

 
 Cheers
 
 Tony
