So I got the new laptop, and I'm playing a bit with it. One pleasant surprise is... windows7. Apparently, it includes tools that allow it to shrink the NTFS partition on the fly (yes, I'm keeping a windows partition around). Quick guide: - search for "partition" in the control panel, click on the disk management tool that goes with it. right click on the selected partition, and choose "shrink". -since I'm lazy, I also created an extra partition in the liberated space... so that I don't have to muck with fdisk later... works like a charm.
