Ok, I installed the ntfsprogs package and was able to take the 60 Gb off
the windows partition. Now I have this
/dev/sda1 Fat16 63 Mb
/dev/sda2 Ntfs 20.5 Gb
Unallocated 65.5 Gb
/dev/sda3 ext3 102 Mb
/dev/sda4 extended 67 Gb
/dev/sda5 ext 3 64 Gb
/dev/sda6 swap 2.5 Gb
But I cant resize my extended partition so that I can use the free space
that I just made.... Am I missing another package, or what? It tells me
in Gparted that the status of my /dev/sda4 is busy(at least one logical
partition is mounted). Any help?
