First back up and defragment etc the ntfs from Wintendo, then boot knoppix and in the K menu go find System -> QTParted. ..once you play around it, you'll find it quite intuitive. Now, since you run Wintendo for a living, I recommend you restrain your urge to stomp it hard into some wee corner, leave it say 15% of air. For knoppix config and command history data, 1MB upwards will do fine, it be vfat or ext3 on the hard disk or a cheapo usb key. ..Knoppix will need 2.5GB, use the new freed space for ext3 and GNU/Linux and put Grub in the master boot record, so it boots both os'es with a nice boot menu. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;o) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry... Scenarios always come in sets of three: best case, worst case, and just in case. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list Flightgear-users@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
