The only one I can think of is something called Partition Magic. I haven't
used it and I think it is not Open Source or otherwise freely distributable
-- it comes with one or more of the "full-price" packages from major Linux
distributors (Red Hat? I forget). I've seen many warnings that it does bad
things, but, as I said, I have no personalt experience from which to judge.

fdisk uses an ncurses display; it has no NEXT button. You'll need to explain
this a bit more clearly.

For Linux by itself ... sure. To share with Windows ... I doubt it. I doubt
1 gig is big enough for Windows by itself.
While you can fit a specialized Linux distribution in as little as 40 megs
(actually, some fit on a single floppy), a general-purpose workstation these
days needs at least 400 megs to install, and Red Hat's general-purpose
workstation probably a bit more than that. The smallest disk I now use for
workstation installs is about 1.2 gigs.
