I have a WinXP professional machine 120G hard drive. I want to load Red Hat 8.0 and resize the partition. I put the Red Hat installation Disk 1. I selected Disk Druid to partition manually. Then I selected "edit" partition. However, I did not find an option to resize the NTFS partition. Does anyone know how to resize the partion by using the Red Hat instalation disk? Thank you for any suggestions. Best,

Sorry, I can't answer your question directly. I always use "3rd party software" (Partition Magic or Partition Commander.) I am curious, why Redhat 8.0? Redhat 8.0 is known to have been a "problem" release. You have 512mb of ram, Redhat 9.0, Fedora Core 5 or 6, or CentOS 4.0 or possibly 5.0 (CentOS is a clone of Redhat Enterprise Linux) should work fine and they are all free.

Thanks, I will upgrade to Red Hat 9.0

I don't "think" Red Hat have ever had an option to resize NTFS, I always used an old Mandrake CD to do that - then install Red Hat. May I ask why Red Hat, and specifically version 8? Just asking, coz' it's quite old now - and distributions like Suse (server) and Ubuntu (desktop) are generally far more popular these days. Unix systems are as susceptible to hostile software attacks as any other system, however, the Unix community is zealous in their believe that they are immune. This belief is in the face of historical
