I am using the new partition to creat a Linux from Scratch system. Has anyone experience of this?
Yes, although it depends how much "from scratch" you mean. I started with a few choice things precompiled (like the compiler! and X, as my machine was not *that* fast) but built most of the rest and used GNU Stow to keep it all under control. A very useful learning experience for people interested in how the system hangs together, but not really for general use ;-)

Why isn't it very good for general use then? I thought I'd better ask, since I'm in the middle of downloading the packages for it ;-)
(planning to put it on my old P100 (after putting another distro on it since it's only got win95 on it ATM) so I can put it into use for....something....I dunno really <G>. The problem I'm pretty sure the CD-ROM drive in the P100 doesn't read CD-Rs. I had better rethink this I think)
