Thanks again for your help guys.

Looks like I have screwed myself here.  I installed only OS X and YDL
and so have no OS 9 to run FWB upon.  Figures!

I am just still surprised that I can't just run disk utilities again, as
I had when setting up for YDL when I created the partitions, and
reformat one of the partitions.  Now, when I start from the Mac install
disk, it sees only one partition for the whole drive rather than the 10
Gb HFS+ partition and other Linux partitions!

Nice utility, eh?

ARGH!
