There is a partitionning tool (drive setup) but it can´t resize partitions!?

The "Space Bar" is disabled by default that´s correct but after I enabled it
it´s still invisible on the BeOS partition and only there. Even a FAT USB
thumbdrive has this little bar visible.

The "Clean up" option works but it looks not very perfect arranged. It´s
more or less still a mess. ;-) Sometimes all disc icons are on the same
position so they overlap. The same "problem" exists in BeOS and in ZETA.

Thanks for your quick reply.

There already is a partitionning tool usable from the installer, but 
maybe it's not enabled yet ?

It must be disabled by default... Deskbar menu -> Preferences -> 
Tracker -> Volume Icons

Right click -> Cleanup
or just Alt-K
