Warning:  There are always dangers in partitionning; therefore, I
recommended everyone to backup their data before partitionning.

Partition Magic 5.0 is almost the most reliable partitionning
software.  You can use this software to resize other partition and
create a new Partition for Linux EXT2, and a new swap partition [<133
MB]  Than install and use boot magic or other dual boot such as system
commander.  Reboot your system, and install linux in custom mode to
make sure you install the lilo in the first section of the linux
partition [NOT THE MASTER BOOT RECORD]  If you install the lilo in the
master boot record, there would be more chances of data loss.  Than
reboot the system as normal and add the new OS in the dual boot
manager.
