Ubuntu Express: Can it setup a partition and dual-boot with Windows

Hi all,

I have been running Ubuntu for a while on my mythTV box with great
success and have decided perhaps I should install Ubuntu on my
everyday laptop.

Now, whilst I am a daring person, I am sure there will be occassions
when I want to use Windows so I would like to do the dual boot route,
however, I don't want to have to re-install Windows whilst I install
Ubuntu.  My real problem is that I currently only have a single
partition on my laptop.

The question is, does the Ubuntu 6.06 LTS live cd include some kind of
tool to create new paritions and the like so that everything is done
for me?  I don't have any tools to do this for me (i.e. partition
magic) so I wouldn't know where to start.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum to ask this question, but I searched
the web and decided you fellow Aussies might be able to help.

Kind Regards,
Whytey
