Interesting, I never tried that approach. I'll have to remember that.

Personally, I ran into resizing problems installing Suse 9 as well and
ended up using PartitionMagic to resize my Windows 2000 install on my
T40. If you don't mind recovering your data with the IBM Restore CD, you
might want to go that route and learn a couple things. However for a
quick and painless job, grab a copy of PatitionMagic.
