Huh? If you've "hacked the scheduling algorithm of an peusdo-OS called 
KMOS (written in Pascal)" then RedHat's disk partitioning tools (entire 
disk, use disk druid, use fdisk) should really be a no-brainer. It's 
simple enough for even a windows user to grasp without difficulty. And 
why were you installing Caldera "WITHOUT ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE"? Don't you 
mean "with absolute confidence"? I'm not clear on your meaning of 
"without backup". If you had a backup wouldn't you be reinstalling from 
it, and if not, why do you have that backup, especially since you say 
it's a production system? This makes no sense at all.
