I was not aware. thanks.
Thus you should be able to free some space on a hard-disk with Vista and install Linux to it. So I'm wondering if we need the resize-feature in the future as much as we do today.
Given that, I guess there will be less pressure to add that feature. However, I think it's global value is still quite the same, because it gives users the ability to install Fedora on a brand new PC without intermediate steps in an external environment: just insert the install DVD and boot. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
