I understand the need to make the partitions the same. Is there a program to do this in linux or a disk I can use?

The partitioning utilities come with the operating system, in much the same way that FDISK comes with DOS.

Incidentally, I've heard that you can get a little "Linux-on-a-floppy" distribution so that you can boot to linux with a diskette (again, much like DOS), and perhaps it would include the necessary utility. (Anyone have that link?)

But let me re-iterate that the partitioning is not something you ought to be doing yourself- it's more risky than just using Empeg's own utility on the player itself.
