I see your point here and I am so eager to install SuSE 9.1. It's just that I can't ignore the messages I read. Especially I am concerned with this issue about NTFS resizing described in this review:
Personally... I wouldn't use the SUSE installer to resize an NTFS partition. I've had no problems with FAT32 partitions, but NTFS and Linux don't play well together. Do it the easy way... use native Windows tools to do it. You can use some of the tools provided with Win2k (not sure about XP) or use a 3rd party tool like Partition Magic. Saves you a lot of grief and trouble.
Which version of Partition Magic will resize the only partition - NTFS under XP? I've got my hands on a Dell D600 Latitude laptop that I wants to downsize that single partition to open up room for either 8.2 Pro or 0.1 Pro. Mike
