Re: Resizing partitions..

[Andrew Biggadike <abiggadike@triad.rr.com>]

Ah, yes, I did forget to mention: I am using NT Loader to dual boot, so
I believe lilo is on /dev/hda3 (though I'm still not exactly clear about
everything).  Using the Windows loader shouldn't complicate matters at
all, should it?

Thanks for the information!
