I am looking to set up shared files in a Kubuntu/Doze installation.  I have 
found the following:

but am open to other suggestions.
Is it really necessary to use a Windows partitioner?  And if so, can anyone 
suggest a good one that does not require money?
If not, which Linux partitioner would be a good idea, and on which Live CD?  
(Assuming that it would need to be run from a Live CD.)  Or could I run it 
from within Kubuntu?
Also, any gotchas I should be aware of?  I currently favour the first of the 
URLs above, because it gives clear directions for how to use Thunderbird and 
Firefox from either OS/Distro, sharing files.
TIA
