fuck gentoo, back to knoppix

well after my excitement of getting gentoo to boot i couldn't get run_qtparted to do anything. the little gui actually had a button for gparted (gnome's version).. but that motherfucker couldn't find any harddrives. fuck that shit. thankfully i was downloading knoppix 4 (http://www.knoppix.org/) i love knoppix. when i was building my first PVR (fedora 4 based) knoppix is what i used to get it going at first. it worked when nothing else would and detected all kinds of stuff like my SATA (!) hard drive and bluetooth keyboard (!!)).. so its running now and qtparted is there and i can get it to start but i am not having much luck getting it to actually resize. i resize the partition to 65gigs and then a little info dialog comes up with nothing in it..

guess i'll google for a bit and figure out what i am missing. i have a feeling that because it sees sda2 (my hdd) as busy. i'll let you know
