Actually, this is quite possible with any distro. I think in Mandrake the
partition resizing is actually built into the installer. Ah, if only we
would rip off the "nice" installers or something...

Once, when fips'ing a win2k (fat) partition, fips refused to shrink it more
than a few megs, no matter how much I defragged it. It turned out some sort
of virtual memory was residing at the end of the partition, and win2k
wouldn't let me completely shut it off. So I used gnu parted, and just
chopped it off (after copious prayer). It worked fine, but later cfdisk ate
the entire partition table.... I think....
