If you want run Parted on a machine without GNU/Linux installed, or you
want to resize a root partition, you will need to use a boot disk.

Boot disk images are available from:

        ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/bootdisk

You need to download the boot image (partboot.img) that doesn't change
between Parted releases, and a root image (eg: partroot-1.6.1.img). 

To create the disks, type (in GNU/Linux)

	# cp partboot.img /dev/fd0
	# cp partroot-1.6.1.img /dev/fd0

Obviously, you need to insert a new disk in the middle ;)

If you DOS/Windows, you can use RAWRITE.EXE.

To use the disks, boot off the partboot disk, and insert the partroot
disk when it asks.
