True. But KNOPPIX is very similar in that the live CD is installable. Additionally, do not try to resize a partition that may be mounted. The live CDs like to use a local swap partition if one is allocated on the HD. This certainly won't be the case on a pure Windows system. However, you can use the swapoff command from the command line. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf at blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
