When Windows is installed on a machine, and one begins to install Suze,
the partition manager nicely resizes the Windows partition to just
about whatever size that you want it and then installs nicely beside
it. However, it does not show the same courtesy to existing Linux
partitions of a different distro. Does anybody know of a distro
that does play nicely with others. This may be my ticket to
recovering my hard drive. <br clear="all"><span class="sg"><br>-- <br>Grace and Peace,<br>Karl Sokol<br><br>"Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, <br>in all the ways you can, in all the places you can,
