So can't help but notice that the .iso has shrunk again (brilliantwork) and would like to suggest that if there was room could
a stripped down version of `ntfsprogs' be added to the live CD?
The items would be ntfsresize, ntfsfix and the one ntfs library which
as .dsl is 67 kB (compressed size). Why? a) it does NOT turn DSL
into a rescue disk, which would just be insulting, but b) with the
live disk ALONE you could safely carve yourself a little room on
an M$ machine - so no partition magic, no need to get net access
and download alternative partition programs and its very safe.
Oh yeah and it works (just did it with the dsl above and cfdisk)....
Just a suggestion. Cheers.
