Shrinking Windows Partition?

[Richard Barry]

The Hoary installer can do it for you.  Just select manual partitioning,
then select the NTFS (windows) partition and change the size of it.  I
installed Hoary RC yesterday and it worked fine.  It's not 100%
intuitive though, I would have liked an option (for dummies/noobs) like
"Resize NTFS partition and use new partition to install Ubuntu" that
just asks you what size you want the partitions to be.  It might be a
little scary for a new user as it is at the moment.
