I do not understand why we do not take a look at the old Partition
Magic (not the new one that Symantec now owns).  I understand there is
a Partition Magic Open Source now but have to do some research on who
is creating the new program for Linux.  I remember reading some very
good reviews on it as it is almost a clone of the original Partition
Magic.  That was one of the best partition programs ever made and I
know lots of people who use it so why cannot we put this knowledge to
use within SUSE.  I know with some minor adjustments we can place it
within the installation area.  This was very easy to use, fast and
since it is now in Open Source maybe we can use some of its ideas or
further develop it to SUSE installation.
