Figuring I would just "go for it" and install SUSE on my laptop, I
booted the DVD.  Unfortunately, when I got to the partition menu, I
got the following choice:

"Delete Windows partition /dev/sda1 (85.1 GB). Resize impossible due
to inconsistent fs. Try checking fs under Windows."

The same went for my 6.4 and 1.5 GB partitions.

I'll have to wait for *nix to catch up with the filesystem.

Maybe I can run VMWare instaead
I understand that Vista comes with a built-in partitioner. I've also
found that running QTParted from a Knoppix boot tends to work better
than the SuSE or Fedora partitioners.

Ahh, so it does!

The disk management tool now does partition shrinking. I just tried it out and was successful.
