I've never used Partition Magic, but if it can resize ext2 filesystems, then it will do the trick. I used parted because I already had it, and it did what I needed it to do. > Does re-partitioning the drive not affect lilo? Will it still be > able to find the kernel ie. boot? I don't think that the re-partitioning affected lilo, which makes sense, since the boot partition isn't being moved, it's just being shrunk. If it does affect lilo, then add a step after the parted and before rebooting: mount /dev/hda1 /mnt chroot /mnt lilo -v I honestly can't recall if I had to do that or not. -- Dave Carrigan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | Yow!
