[Coco] changing partition types using Linux

[Brett Gordon]

Roger,

I take it you don't have a linux running?  I just checked into fdisk, and it
looks like it should work.  It lists $DA as "non-fs data".   I thought you
would be able to fdisk on just about any linux dist., even the floppy
bootable kind, as it's been around for eons.
