I've read that dual-booting under Vista is not as easy as 2k/xp

Can I safely (at least reasonably) resize or am I screwed?
hi Kai,
You can do this, but the other way around. I assume that your HP came
with
either a restore disk or a restore partition?
The technique is to blow the disk away and install openSUSE
*first* leaving a
workable partition at the front-end of the drive (appropriate and large
enough) for you to *restore* vista into when you are done installing
openSUSE.
And also create a FAT32 partition, where "My Documents" can be moved to,
for data interchange between the two systems.
Okay, thanks. I'll give it a go tonight and see what happens.
