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? -- Michael JasonSmith http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~mpj17/
