Since the time of that writing, several free and commercial tools have been developed that also support resizing NTFS partitions. This PR may be a duplicate of docs/71980, but I believe this patch better addresses the issue at hand. >How-To-Repeat: N/A >Fix: The following patch should fix this problem. I was unsure how to format ``Linux'' in the ``Linux LiveCD'' text where I mention Knoppix, so that may need to be changed. I'm also not sure if the links are proper. This patch should be carefully scrutinized :). This patch also mentions the commercial BootIT NG utility that was reported by Paul Colin Gloster . --- share/sgml/trademarks.ent.old Sat Feb 19 15:51:27 2005 +++ share/sgml/trademarks.ent Sun Feb 27 09:20:27 2005 @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ Please keep this file sorted. - $FreeBSD: doc/share/sgml/trademarks.ent,v 1.26 2005/02/19 15:51:27 simon Exp $ + $FreeBSD: /repoman/r/dcvs/doc/share/sgml/trademarks.ent,v 1.26 2005/02/19 15:51:27 simon Exp $ --> 3Com and HomeConnect are registered @@ -71,6 +71,11 @@ Broadcom is a registered trademark of Broadcom Corporation and/or its subsidiaries."> Broadcom"> + + +BootIt, BootNow, and BurnCDCC are + trademarks of TeraByte Unlimited"> +BootIt"> Check Point, Firewall-1, and --- en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install/chapter.sgml.old Sun Feb 13 10:24:08 2005 +++ en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install/chapter.sgml Sun Feb 27 09:20:07 2005 @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ @@ -269,20 +269,42 @@ want a graphical user interface.
