Mandrake, which the original poster said he was intending on installing, can automatically resize your Windows partition during installation. We did this on numerous systems at the Linux Workshop (i.e. Installfest) and it worked very nicely every time. Mandrake is probably the distro I'd recommend most to newbies at the moment... but new versions of distros are coming out all the time, so no doubt that'll change :) -Andrew. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
