There is a program called GNU Parted that should allow you to resize the
partition, depending on what filesystem it was formatted with. See it's
homepage at <http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/parted.html> for more
details.
After resizing the existing partition, create a new partition with the
free space & install windows there. Note that installing windows will
overwrite the master boot record, making the Linux partition unbootable,
so make sure you have a boot floppy created before installing windows.
After installing windows, boot to Linux with the floppy boot disk, and
reconfigure /etc/lilo.conf to boot either the Linux or Windows
partition, and reinstall lilo on the MBR with /sbin/lilo.
Hope this helps,
Conway S. Smith
