[NTLUG:Discuss] Assistance with Dual boot Win2000 and Ubuntu, external wifi card

[Russ]

Thanks David for your advice.  It's much appreciated!

First of all, I don't know why I called my ThinkPad a ThinkBook except
that my wife is going on and on about getting an Apple computer.
I've gone to one of those sites you mentioned
(http://weblogs.asp.net/kdente/archive/2006/01/07/434789.aspx ) and
put in my Knoppix CD to find ntfsresize.  I have found it but find the
command non-responsive.  I may not be activating it correctly.  I'll
try command line next, instead of the GUI.  And I'll get out to
sourceforge to look for that qparted CD.  I'll likely buy it and have
it shipped since I have a poor, and inconsistent, link to the Internet
where I'm at.
