Does Arch have a partition program?

Hi

I'm running a dual boot setup and I initially gave Arch a small partition because I was just trying it out. Now, the tables have turned! I'm almost done a complete migration to Linux and am keeping XP just to run some stuff that works best on it. Needless to say, I need to change the sizes of my partitions. Do I need to download one via pacman or does Arch come with one? (The reason I ask is because I believe some distros like ubuntu do come with one).

pacman -Sy extra/gparted
or
pacman -Sy extra/qtparted

use any of the above programs to do ur partition resizing thing.even better use a ubuntu livecd.

Why not just use cfdisk ?

What is cfdisk?

Can I just resize partitions via command line program, like cfdisk. When I need to resize the disk partition, I am always downloading gparted.

I don't think you can. You will still have to resort to GParted. It's only like 500kbs anyways, with a 700kb dependency (parted).
