    The SuSE partitioner should work. I can't remember ever having a
    problem with it myself (have a friend that used it and has xp, 2kpro,
    2kserver, suse and gentoo on the same machine, but I think he had to do
    some tinkering). Haven't used 8.x either so I really can't say. I use
    Partition magic sometimes, but it's not free. A google search or a
    search of the archives might help if you get impatient waiting for a
    working reply. I know I've seen this on the list a while back.
