[lug] Partitioning a NTFS file system

[LittleViggy at alum.manhattan.edu]

You might want to check out the Ranish Partition Manager:

I'm not sure if it will re-partition NTFS, but the boot manager contained 
within does.  I've played around with it, and it's a LOT nicer than FDISK for 
DOS.  Not sure what it would do with an ext2 partition, however...

But, it's FREE!  And it fits on a floppy!!!  It only runs in DOS, however.
