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.
It also supports various file systems: ext2, ext3, ext4, fat16, fat32, ntfs, and reiserfs and has other useful features.

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. https://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/latest/download
direct download link https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/gparted/gparted-live-stable/0.30.0...
This should do the trick for me. I am already familiar with gparted, and it's free, and pure Linux.
