Hello all,
My wife just picked up a sweet Toshiba Dynabook last week and (having helped pay for it) I'm gearing up to slap SuSE on part of the drive.
Question. Can SuSE 7.3/8.0 resize partitions during the install? 7.3 to my knowledge can not, but I could be wrong, I believe 8.0 will be able to. If so can it resize NTFS (that's WinXP's right?)

Thanks for reading... Any advice or experiences would be much appreciated.
