Heck yea...Diskdrake will do a real nice job of resizing the DOS partition
so you can make some Linux partitions. One thing you want to watch that
you don't do and that is to make the new Linux partitions behind an
extended DOS partition. This is a very bad thing to do and will result in
partition table corruption eventually bringing one or both systems down.
