       @og the installer should be able to do it for you more or less automatically - just go through the 'installation destination' screen with the 'automatic' setting set and it should show you this screen, click "reclaim space" and it should give you a pretty easy UI to shrink existing partitions to create space for Fedora...

       @og not if you tell it to *shrink* the windows partition. if you tell it to *delete* the windows partition it will! as long as there's some free space on your main windows partition, the installer should be able to shrink it and use the free space created for fedora.

       @oblomov @og ...then, maybe the installation program that comes with Fedora has a graphical tool to manage (even shrink) partitions, many distro do (it's often based on gparted).
