[luau] Linux + NTFS re-partitioning (was Linux)

In general, the good news is that some distros (SuSE and Mandrake at
least) have a partition tool that will not blow existing Windows files,
even in NTFS. That's great.

Exactly how is this done? What comes to mind is:

    o Create drive D if not already there
    o Create pagefile on D
    o Zero out pagefile on C (this deletes it)
    o Resize C (make smaller)
    o Back in Windows, create pagefile on C

Is there a better, faster way?
