Well, the section is about tools that can be run *in a DOS/Windows environment*. Does that apply to parted and ntfsresize? AFAIK it does not... Note that [1] also has the following text: If your machine has a FAT or NTFS filesystem, as used by DOS and Windows, you can wait and use Debian installer's partitioning program to resize the filesystem. The installer of course uses parted and ntfsresize. Cheers, FJP [1] http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch03s05.html
