    how can i resize a partition under morphos?
    i'd like to make a partition for mos 1.4.5 but the hd is full with sfs and linux partitions.
    or should i use linux for that matter?
    thx.

    Well there is a tool, called sfs resize, however, it only did partly work for me, because my 1Gb Partition which should have been splitted into to 512 mb ones, could be only resized to 700something mb (although just 300something where use).
    But there is another solution (if you have enough space that is) I backuped my whole sys partiton with Diavolo Backup, splitted the old Sys Partition and formated both then. backup on the first, Mos 2 on the second one, everything was fine. But as I said, this will just work if you have enough space. (Or maybe sfs resize will do it for you, but please consult the docs!)

    thx!
    i think i'll go for the easy way: backup the fresh mos2.0 partition, format and split it into two.
    i wonder if i could do it from the hd installed mos2.0 (if it lets to format the system partition) or i have to use the cd for this...
