| 220516 | 2004-03-12 23:45:00 | Right, before I do this, I just want to check a few things. 1. With qtparted, can I move the data onto a second partition? It has been said that Ranish can not, so it might apply to this. 2. How does it work? I thought that it moved info from harddrive, to memory to harddrive to shift it all around, but if I am using knoppix, which boots from CD into memory (?) then how is it going to use the memory? Anything else you want to tell me before I do it? |

| 220517 | 2004-03-12 23:47:00 | Oh, and I just noticed. In the root shell window, after I started qtparted, it says "Error: MSDOS Disk labels do not support partition names. What exactly does that mean, any concern to me? |

| 220518 | 2004-03-12 23:49:00 | And how long will this partitioning take, approximately? Is it so long that I should do it overnight, like when you defrag your drive? |

| 220519 | 2004-03-13 09:01:00 | maybe around 3 hours? | mejobloggs (264) | ||
| 220520 | 2004-03-13 09:36:00 | Firstly> Post padding wont get you anywhere. Take a moment to think about all your questions rather, coz its a pain to have to read so many posts. Try this: sudo bash export DISPLAY=0:0 && qtparted Im not sure how long it'll take, leave it going overnight. PoWa> This is a good, free alternative isnt it? Chill. |

| 220522 | 2004-03-18 11:52:00 | Ok, I done it. Cool. I downloaded System Rescue CD, which had a newer version of qtparted. Worked fine. |

| 220523 | 2004-03-18 14:04:00 | Ahh doesn't look too bad there Chill ;) But can it resize partitions? I do that a lot. |

| 220524 | 2004-03-18 20:51:00 | No, it cant. They didnt want to add any functionality, keeping in line with the rest of Linux. </sarcasm> Of course you can. Ive resized Ntfs, Fat32/vfat, ReiserFS, Ext3.... I cant see you doing more than that... ;-) Chill. |
