no. Linux can only *_READ_* from (win2k) ntfs partitions AFAIK. What you
have on the SuSE cd's (I think in the directory dos or something
similar) is a .exe program (yep win32 LSB exec format) that claims to be
able to split your free space so that you get another partition. This
partition can be formated and you can install on it.
cheers,
Patrick.
