I don't know of any linux programs that do this
(though they probably exist), but the easiest way is
to use Partition Magic and resize the NTSF in Windows.
It also creates a lovely new ext2 partition all ready
to install SuSE.
A word of warning though, SuSE 8.1 doesn't work great
on Toshiba Satellites (from my many attempts). 8.2 on
the other way works straight out of the box (well
whatever that means in Linux).

Hi, all --
I have a lovely new Toshiba Satellite system and I would like to put SuSE 8.1 on it. Unfortunately, the Toshiba recovery CD insists on wiping out any partitions on the disk and putting one big XP NTFS slice on it.
What -- preferably free under Linux -- can resize an NTFS slice? If I could resize it, then I could drag it around and get Linux on the box.
On the off chance that anyone has managed to hack the Toshiba Satellite 1135 recovery CD to allow a custom install, I'll ask here for those people to drop me a line since that would be useful for the future :-)
TIA & HAND
