Re: [TriLUG] Shrinking Windows to Install Linux

[Joel Ebel]

For ntfs partitions, there's a utility called ntfsresize that does the 
trick.  I believe it's included in Mandrake installs, but I'm not sure. 
 Mandrake isn't my cup of tea.  I believe it is also on Knoppix.  For 
fat partitions, I like using GNU Parted.  It's also in Knoppix.  Of 
course there's always fips, but I dont recommend it for more than 
nostalgic reasons. :)

I am off to sunny, warm Alaska to teach a course, and all of the  
systems in the training room are running Windows (2000 I think). I need  
to be able to install Mandrake 10 on those servers.

Is there a utility out there to repartition a Windows drive to allow  
for enough space for a Linux partition? FOSS solutions preferred.

P.S. The systems have lots of free disk space.
