as I understand fedora and red hat are too afraid to even link to
external repositories because of legal issues. I would love that also!
But also it is really important to add ntfs support in anaconda - that
is at least possible.
I would love to see three-click install of freshrpms (first two screens
saying that fedora and red hat are clear of all legal ties with livna
and that users to this at their own, blah, blah, blah) - but fedora
devels say that their lawyers advise against it!

Valent,
Fedora 7 Test 4 Live CD had Gparted and had the ability to resize NTFS partitions. I tried it and it worked beautifully. Maybe someone can confirm/deny the presence of Gparted on Fedora 7 Live CD's both Gnome and KDE versions.
This is probably a reason why it is not needed/implemented for Anaconda. You first use Gparted to resize the NTFS partition and then you can use the anaconda based livecd installer to install Fedora all from within the LiveCD environment.
Regards,
Antonio
