Folks,
I have the Novel SuSE DVD's. I would like to install it on my (company's)
laptop which has a 40G Hd on it. I was going to use the usual tool (FIPS)
but remembered something about NTFS, and of course re-rtfm and saw that
FIPS is for fat only. I saw several "solutions" out there but all that I
saw had what looked like flashing red letters on them about re-sizing
NTFS partitions. I want to whack off about 15G for Linux, you guys have
any recommendations?

Indeed, is there one on the Novel DVD's? if so I am set and will proceed.

out and having to identify your bits and pieces in the midst of torn
and twisted metal."
