Documentation Mistake

[James Wagner]

Hello

I'm currently browsing through the documentation for FreeBSD because I'm 
considering using it for a file/samba/e-mail server.  I find it 
interesting, but did find one thing in the documentation that is just 
plain wrong.

In the installation notes for the x86 platform at 
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.2R/installation-i386.html  there's the 
following quote:

"*FIPS* does NOT currently work with NTFS style partitions. To split up 
such a partition, you will need a commercial product such as *Partition 
Magic*. Sorry, but this is just the breaks if you've got a Windows 
partition hogging your whole disk and you don't want to reinstall from 
scratch."

I've used a small (~50 meg) Linux LiveCD called gParted many times to 
split NTFS partitions.  I've never had a problem using it, it has a nice 
pretty graphical interface, and it's 100% free to download and use.  The 
LiveCD page is at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php in case you 
want to try it or add a link to it in your install guide.  (I have no 
affiliation with this project other than loving it when I need to use it.)
