Hi everyone, I am currently running FC4 on my T43 laptop. I really want to upgrade to FC6, however I have a couple of problems. Firstly, I dont have the Bios password to boot a CD, my sysadmin has it, and if I want him to do it I will have to wait some considerable time, and I want to install it myself anyway! Secdonly, I have no free space on my disk. I have a 40G winxp partition which I rarely use, I normally boot xp under vmplayer. This partition has 31G free on it, does anyone know if partition magic or some other tool can shrink an ntfs partition on the fly? (Remember no bios password!) Will 25G or so be enough for a full FC6 install? I keep most of my data on an external drive so that doesnt matter too much. So what I think I want is to leave my FC4 partition as it is, shrink my xp partition and install FC^ in the free space, how does that sound? Will my current grub setup be able to boot FC6 ok? Heres my partition table: Disk geometry for /dev/sda: 0.000-76319.085 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 40967.226 primary ntfs boot 3 40967.227 51214.570 primary fat32 lba 4 51214.570 72270.351 extended lba 5 51214.601 52499.179 logical 6 52499.210 72270.351 logical ext3 2 72270.352 76316.132 primary fat32 Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary. Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated! Best regards, Alastair
