There are free downloads of Parted Magic, although I can't speak for their
quality in comparison. It's been a while since I have needed to resize a
partition like this. (I didn't allot as much space as I ought to have done;
these new systems keep taking up more and more space, since bigger hard
drives are getting cheaper and cheaper.)
I found a free version of gparted as a live CD iso file on SourceForge.

This should do the trick for me. I am already familiar with gparted, and it's
free, and pure Linux.

What think you of Parted Magic? How does it
compare to Slacko?
It's expensive (provides a technical minor solution that can be solved for
free with superiority) and can't do most of the interesting tasks, e.g. I
usually customize my slacko sticks in a way that they perform different
tasks automaticly when booting, so I can give them out to minor minions :-)
I ask because I am not so familiar with Slackware
(though I don't know if
it matters much for this job of resizing a partition); but I do know
Parted Magic, and have used it before now several times.
slacko is just linux, nothing special.
