It's much easier to use the Familiar fdisk and other utilities, you don't
even need to get a laptop with a PCMCIA port for that ;) "ipkg install
fdisk", or strangely enough, util-linux? Creating the filesystems is bit
trickier, and depends on what filesystems you want, but they should all be
available for Familiar.

However, the question was about whether you can safely re-partition the
Toshiba HDD at all. I can't answer that. Has anybody done it with that
specific model? (MK-5002MPL)
