[PLUG] Non-destructive partitioner to make dual-boot

[Christopher N. Deckard]

Um, why do you need a 5MB fat partition?  The program runs off of a
floppy.  I've never needed to have a fat partition.  I've even moved a
2GB linux parition from the end of a drive to just after the first
partition on a huge drive.  Went well, and the only partitions on it
were an NTFS part, and a Linux Native part.
