RE: [Nolug] Partition sizes

You wanted parted:

http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/parted.html

I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but heard it works. Of course you
might want to backup first! Also, Partition Magic will resize a linux
partition.

As an aside, why do you need 500+ meg root filesystem? if you only have
what belongs there, it shouldn't need to be that big.... just my opinion.
