Re: freeware partition manager?

["Kyle Schneider" <kwschnei@xxxxxxx>]

To expand on Tim's suggestion, you can also use a Knoppix disk and run
qtparted, it's a GUI for parted.  Be forewarned though, resizing
partitions is not without danger, noteably, sizing down can result in data
loss (happened to me, and I had to reinstall since it was my / partition.

Also, ext3 is not easily resizeable.  You first have to remove the journal
to make it ext2 (google for this) and then you have to resize and create a
new journal.
