[conspire] NTFS Resizing

[Ed Biow]

There was a thread on this forum a coupla-few of months back about utilities 
for resizing NTFS partitions.   Mandrake has just released 9.1 RC1, which 
includes NTFS resizing, apparently from ntfsresize utility 
(http://mlf.linux.rulez.org/mlf/ezaz/ntfsresize.html), part of the Linux-NTFS 
Project: http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/.  I believe this is the same 
resizer used in Xandros.

I think I'll probably attend the InstallFest on the 8th of March, if that is 
still in the offing.   Just out of curiosity, does FreeBSD or its ilk ever 
get installed at one of these affairs?   I tried installing 4.6 on a box just 
to play around with it recently, but was rather put off by the different hard 
drive naming conventions and the fact that it didn't see my partition table 
the way I envisaged it existing, so I aborted (but apparently not before the 
OS wrote its bootloader to my MBR!)  I don't think I'm quite ready for 
FreeBSD, but I'd like to give Redhat 8.0 a spin or maybe SuSE 8.0 if it is 
available.
