[TriLUG] Re: folding HD space...

[Ken Mink]

I've used the PartitionMagic ($$) do just that before. Well sort of. I 
used it to drop the XP partition on my laptop and expand and add ext2 
partitions. PM understands ext2 and can resize/move them, as well as 
ntfs/fat partitions. I'd keep a knoppix disk ready as your partition 
numbers may change and invalidate your fstab entries. If you're using 
grub and your partition numbers changes, you'll have to update it's 
config as well.
