Dual-Booting XP and Kubuntu

The Kubuntu install went pretty well. Then I noticed that the new Kubuntu partition has 25GB, while my original XP partition now has only 15GB. Fired up KDE Partition Manager, but obviously, it can't do move/resize on the running Linux partition. Switched to Windows and installed the free MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition. For some reason, it can see the ext4 partition, but the move/resize option doesn't work. Time to pull out the big guns.

Downloaded, burned, and ran Parted Magic and fixed the parititions up. More for XP, less for Kubuntu. Next, I worked on the no-audio issue. After an hour of research and trial-and-error, turns out the speaker is actually muted. N00b. Managed to map some Windows shares, but looks like Amarok and Dragon Player can only play local files (after installing more libraries and codecs).

CPU clock frequency seems to be locked to 600MHz, even though it's a 1.6GHz processor. Second opinion via cpufreq-info disputes this. 600MHz is only when the CPU is idle.
