Description Ted Rodgers 2005-06-12 16:29:35 UTC

The livecd has no ntfsresize command or other utility for allowing the resizing
of ntfs partitions during intall.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot livecd (universal or minimal)
2.sit and ponder how to resize your ntfs partition
3.

Actual Results:  
No utility present.


As a self sufficient distribution, gentoo livecds should offer a utility for
resizing ntfs partitions.  Other livecds (for example knoppix) have the tool
currently, but most users do not want to perform an alternate install method and
would rather not go but Partition Magic just to install Gentoo.

I've had a several people in #gentoo ask how to do their ntfs resize, and it's
discouraging to have to download another distro just to use one tool.
