Resize NTFS with FTP Install?

Hey folks,

With the freely downloadable FTP/Network Install version of Suse 9.2, are you given the option to resize an NTFS partition that is already created and has data on it? If so, is it pretty reliable?

Thanks!

Touching NTFS from linux is never a very safe thing to do. So be carefull. You'd better use some windows tool like Partition magic to do this.

Actually from the news articles I've read, the ntfs resizer that comes with Suse is the commercial product Acronis (something like that) which has good reviews.

So, back to the question...is it included with the free FTP installation of 9.2 or only the retail version?
