    Hi,

    I have a winxp partition ( kids games ), a shared Fat32 partition
    ( linux mounted ) and assorted partitions for 9.1. I want to
    shrink the winxp partition and increase the size of the shared
    fat32 one. If I do this from within winxp ( partitionmagic )
    does anyone have suggestions as to whether this will result in an
    unbootable SuSE installation and how should I change the fstab to
    reflect the changes. Would I be better using the Yast
    partitioner? This is my only machine so down time or
    reinstallation would be pretty disasterous.

    Cheers

    Francesco
