The LordSutch.com netinst boot-cd's (45MB and 185 MB) have ext3 support if you boot with a 2.4 kernel (isolinux option bf24) > Also, will it be possible to resize ntfs partitions with cfdist/fdisk? > I want to shrink the winxp partion so I can use the laptop when the I have no idea... safest bet is to use partition magic...
