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.
