The problem is not availability as much as it is that the beta has expired. As such, you wouldn't be able to repartition your disks to install Windows. If you need Boot Camp, check into Leopard. Otherwise, your options for running Windows are Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion.

ah. thanks. my real problem is that I want to merge two partitions without having to wipe the entire drive and I don't know how to do that in cli using diskutil. I tried reading all the man pages but there's nothing on merging partitions and I was hoping that using boot camp as a gui front end, I wouldn't have to *really* understand what I was doing.

just solved my own problem... if anybody's running tiger and needs a functional boot camp, i found 1.3 on a mirror. i'll back up a copy of the dmg in case anybody needs it.

Leopard's version of Disk Utility has that capability, but I'm not aware of any way to do it in Tiger, aside from third-party utilities like iPartition.
