Also note that SuSE 9.0 comes with a disk partitioning
utility.

I had already installed WinXP o and it took all of my
80gb hd.  I then installed SuSE 9.0 and was able to
partition the disk in half so that WinXP has about
37gb and SuSE has the other 37gb.

I'm surprised RH doesn't a similar functionality.
