I know this question has probably been asked before, but I couldn't extract an answer from any of the other postings.  

Linux has a way of installing to a FAT32 HD called UMSDOS that allows it to run off a Windows partition...It's nice.  Problem is that I don't have any extra space left on my HD, and I can't repartition, for the obvious reason that it'd format my HD, and I don't want to lose Windows.

You'll probably laugh at me, and I don't blame you.  I just thought I'd ask...If you've got an answer, feel free to mail me - meresin@meresin.net.  I'd appreciate it.

Thank you.
