Re: resizing partitions

[Roger Searle]

That would be fantastic (normally), but I'm working at home today and am 
at West Melton.  Could I do that on Monday?

Thanks, Chad.  I only have 9.0 - anyone know if that includes the tools? 

Or alternatively would anyone in chch be so kind as to burn (blanks 
replaced of course) or loan me a set of 9.2 disks?

Mandrake 9.2 and later (not sure about 9.1) can do non-destructive resizing

ntfs you need to defrag in windows then just use the Mandrake tools. I've 
can't remember any one having a problem with it.

Jason, could I clarify: do you mean that Mandrake can do a
non-destructive resizing of an existing partition as part of an
installation?
I'm asking because I have some Mandrake disks here and wanted to put
linux on my laptop too, but am too lazy to set up windows again. I don't
have any windows partitioning software, though have a couple of gb spare
on each partition at the moment and could put the space to better use!
The more time I can spend in linux the better...

I would recommend Mandrake instead of RedHat for beginners anyway. It
resizes NTFS no dramas. It is similar enough to RedHat that it should
be just fine for Uni.
My .0002c worth.
