Here's what I'm trying to do:
I have 2 hard drives, one windows, one FC4. currently I boot into linux and have grub pass on the loading to hda2 (winxp) if so desired. I would like to create 2 new partitions on hdb2 (LVM Volume00), one for a linux to windows transfer space (approx 7GB) and a installation partition so that I can mount FC5 iso's and boot to that partition to install. Is it possible to shrink my hdb2 partition to accomodate these 2 new ones? here is the output of fdisk -l
[root@ip213 etc]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 164.6 GB, 164696555520 bytes

/dev/hdb1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/hdb2 14 19457 156183930 8e Linux LVM
Is this possible? (i'm relatively new to linux)
Thanks.
