I usually use gparted for my resizing which I'm sure is just a wrapper around the usual file system tools. If the clone of xp works I will then remove all the thinkvantage tools and will be able to shrink that much smaller than it is now.
Fedora will be easier to do. We'll see anyway. Jim K-R _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
