Description Felix von Leitner 2003-05-21 07:56:51 UTC

nftsresize is part of the ntfsprogs package, and since most PCs these days are
shipped with Windows XP on NTFS covering the whole one IDE disk, it would be a
good idea to ship with ntfsresize on the install CD.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. put in install cd
2. try to resize an NTFS partition ;)
Actual Results:  
I could not perform the steps

Expected Results:  
I would have expected to be offered a way to resize an NTFS partition.

I agree, I am having real problems installing gentoo on this new laptop, having ntfsresize on the install disk would have saved me several hours of work. I know gentoo is all command-line, but a little more user-friendly would be nice

when ntfs write tools are considered stable, they will be included.

Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
