Hi,
I'd like to shrink my existing (ext3) root partition in order to create
a couple of new partitions on the disk. I know how to do this using
parted (1.6.21), but obviously this cannot be done unless I first
unmount the partition in question, meaning that I can't do it from
within Slack. I thought I could simply use Knoppix (3.7), but it appears
that its version of parted (1.6.9) does not handle ext3 resizing
(without converting to ext2 first, which I don't want to do). So my
question is this: is there a live/rescue cd distro which is up-to-date
enough to have a version of parted which can do what I want, or failing
that, is there some other way for me to achieve this without blowing
away my existing root partition?
Cheers,
Shannon
