But there's only a finite number of people working on anaconda and a finite amount of time available for working on what's realisticially a pretty big project[1]. Having some people interested stepping up and helping to work on code would go a long way towards getting this done for Fedora 9. But with the Fedora 8 (and the Fedora 7 even) live CDs, gparted is there and you can use it for resizing ntfs. It just doesn't provide a well-integrated experience Jeremy [1] As it currently stands, the partitioning workflow can't really work within the constraints needed for resizing. And so some that's also an area that's going to need changes -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
