remove linux, and then install Windows XP

[Mark Komarinski]

I'll go slightly off-topic, if at least tangential.

Every now and then I have a user that has WinXP installed or 
pre-installed and wants to have Linux on the system as well.  Some 
distros allow you to resize NTFS partitions during the install process, 
but FC* doesn't, which gets me peeved.  The later Knoppix CDs don't work 
well resizing NTFS either.

But there's another way.  The gparted gang have a 27MB live CD that will 
resize NTFS partitions for you very nicely.  The only thing you need to 
do is make sure that your NTFS filesystem is consistent (i.e. make sure 
that you shutdown XP cleanly).
