Problem:
o 15 members of the University's IT Department want to 
  be taught how to install Linux.
o I said I'd learn them Linux.
o They want to know how to dual-boot.
o The machines I have to teach on have one (1, I, 
  00000001) NTFS partition, of around 70 GB, with no 
  free space.
o The RedHat 8 installer (anaconda) will not resize the 
  NTFS partition.  I tried both "Automatic" and "Disk 
  Druid" modes.
o The University does not have Partition Magic.
o Gnu Parted (and possibly "fdisk") could be used to 
  resize a partition, but you would no know if you are 
  about to wipe some data, which has been placed at the 
  end of the partition for a very good reason.

Ok.  I need a simple solution that preserves XP, and has the least room
for error.

Any takers?
