[TriLUG] Install Help!

[Brian McCullough]

Folks,

I am stuck.

Last night I thought I tested this procedure, successfully.  This
morning, no joy.

At home I have an eMachines box, brand new, with XP Home installed,
taking up the whole disk. ( except for a small "recovery" partition )

I loaded Ubuntu 5.10 on that machine in expert mode, and it offered to
resize the Windows partition, which I accepted, and the install was 
successful.


This morning, at a client site, I have a Dell ( 5150, if it matters )
with XP Home installed, and the _same_ Ubuntu 5.10 disk does _not_ offer
the resize option.

The copy of parted on my RIP disk says that it can't resize NTFS
partitions.

Where do I go next?

Thanks,
Brian
