Anyone know any free partitioning tools i could use to partition my flash drive without changing any of the other partitions or deleting any of the data already on that partition? The partition I want to shrink is fat32 so I can put in place an ext2 file system so i can boot linux... but i havent had any luck so far with anything ...or if there's a way to boot linux from fat32 then that would work too a very big thank you to anyone who can help, i've been trying to work this out for a while

These guys have covered all pendrive Linux installs. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/

thanks for pointing out pendrive :D i'm downloading one of their solutions and trying it out what about booting from what i think is a loop device? (a file that was given a filesystem and then mounted through somewhere else) because that would work PERFECTLY... http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-create-a-filesystem-within-another-partition-s-file ^^^^ is where i found out how to do that edit: anyone know of another place that i could find some more help? as for pendrive, i think i might try and see if theres a way to work that for multiple os's/distros [Modified by: pkpara on October 01, 2008 03:20 AM]
