Depends on what you want to do and what you already
have installed. If you already have linux installed you
can use 'parted'.

You're using Mandrake - what's wrong with diskdrake?

my girlfriend has a new gateway laptop computer with the unthinkable windows xp home. I want to convince her to use mandrake. so i have to make room on the hard drive for the mandrake.

it is a athalon 64 3200
it has 200 gig and windows xp home

and by the way, it took two hours just to install antivirus software and I had to reboot half a dozen times

go linux

Mandrake will do that for you during the install, using diskdrake like mugstar pointed out.

i did not know i could do that during install

should i try the 10.1 beta
or just use 10.0 because this is going on a new laptop

There is a free partition manager called Ranish Partition Manager. You can download it at http://www.snapfiles.com/get/ranish.html. It uses text mode and works with DOS but it's very good and easy to use.
