System rescue cd:

is speakup-enabled, and comes with a collection of fs tools, including
tools for working with ntfs. I seem to recall seeing NTFSresize on the
list of available tools, but am not sure. You might want to check it
out.

I am trying to duel boot Fedora Core 3 along side Windows 2000 which is on a 40 GB NTFS partition. I have tried using tools such as Partition Magic to resize the main partition to make room for Linux, but for some reason when I reboot the system the changes don't take. I recall reading about NTFS, which is a Linux tool designed to safely resize NTFS partitions when preparing to install a secondary operating system. I was wondering if any of the Linux tools such as NTFSresize have been speech-enabled or come on a rescue disk which contains Speakup or other screen reading system. I'd really like to get a working Linux install on this machine if at all possible. Thanks for any assistance.
