[NBLUG/talk] Resizing a linux partition.

[Steve]

HI,
 Ya I decided not to resize and just throw in my extra
hard drive.. and VMware wont work, last time I used VMWare
it didnt support 3D Graphics and it was real slow of graphic stuff.
So the spare HD idea is the way I'm gonna go.. I actualy forgot I had it
untill after I posted my request for help.. =)
