At the fdisk prompt, a "p" will list the partition table. From there you use "t" to change a partition type. Ext2/3 partitions are type 83 and linux swap is type 82. Make sure you only change the partitions that you wanted to be ext3, and not your windows partitions. A "w" will write the new table and exit, and a "q" exits without writing if you make a mistake. A "m" gives a list of choices (menu). -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
