SuSE 10 and Mepsis


I have suse instaled on my HDA...[swap 1gig] [reifers - suse 10.0 75gig] on my internal drive...i wanted to instal mepsis along with it. I have a live mepsis cd...from which..once booted u can instal mepsis. Anywho...i figured i need to partition my drive...given Mepsis has Gparted...i thought i could do this prior to instal (instal dosent give me any options to create a partition for mepsis. So i went into Gparted..and only options i got were to either erase and format the reifers ( which if i do..i loose suse) or fomat lol...same s***. What can i do

Maybe MEPIS doesn't support reiserfs resize. You could boot from a LiveCD like Knoppix or SUSE LiveCD and resize your partitions from there.
