I tried installing RH7.1 and all was well until I tried to delete a few
partitions and combine them.
When I recreated the partition it numbered it last instead of in the
order they are on the disk.  I tried to use fdisk to renumber them but
it wouldn't save it to the MBR.  It would show up on screen as being in
order but when I looked at the partitions again after writing it to disk
nothing had changed.

Is there a way to renumber partitions?
Is there a different version of fdisk that will do this?
Is all hope lost for my poor MBR?
