I used parted to expand an ext2/ext3 partition a while ago and didn't find any problems. First download the statically compiled image (I forget from where, probably the parted project page) and stick it on an ext2-formatted floppy. Then reboot with the installer and delete the old swap partition. Then run parted from the floppy you made earlier. The on-line help is pretty self-explanatory.

A: If you have a problem with commercial software you can call a phone number and they will tell you it might be solved in a future version. For open-source sofware there isn't a phone number to call, but you get the solution within a day. GnuPG key : http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/public_key.gpg
