Subject:   Removing a fips partition with fdisk

Would this be safe to do?

My disk has a 2nd dos and 1 freeBSD partition, both created with fips. Now I 
want to lose the extra fips dos partition and hopefully reclaim it back in 
the original dos partition!

Fips won't let me do this , so is it OK to use fdisk?

(I know how easy it is to lose file systems playing with fips.)


AND, what would be the best way to set up a mirror drive for use in 
emergencies? Since it would have to be bootable and essentially an exact copy 
 is this possible with the mirror package ( whose name I forget ) Could I 
dump straight onto a second drive, once I have done a minimum install? 


Thanks , Paul Walsh
