I'm glad someone mentioned mandrake. One of my friends, who knows nothing
about computers, wanted a dual boot Windows Linux system. She had recently
bought an ex-lease laptop, and it came with windows 98. Unfortunately the
suppliers had forgotten to give her a copy of the windows 98 disk.

She just wanted to play frozen-bubble :)

Anyway, we grabbed a copy of Mandrake from e-caf, and Mandrake resized the
Windows partition without a problem. I was quite impressed.
