Any of you guys had experience of Wine (not the drinking kind).. I've heard a few horror stories about it and have just tried it on RH 7.0.. Worked first time... So it's time for Linux on the laptop as well...

With a little more research from the Ranish FAQ...
Q: How do I shrink a partition? A: First of all run SCANDISK and DEFRAG utilities. Then start Partition Manager and change partition size. Then go to the setup screen (press Enter on the partition) and change size there. Make sure that you do not go below MINIMUM partition size. Reboot computer. Then run SCANDISK to make sure there is no errors and let it adjust amount of free space on the disk. Done.
Note: DEFRAG moves all files to the beginning of the partition, but it leaves system and hidden files untouched. Therefore even after you run DEFRAG there still might be files at the end of partition. In this case you would have to find those files and remove system and hidden attributes, then defragment the disk again and after that restore those attributes
