Today I realised that I haven't increased my swap space since increasing my laptop RAM (to 2GB -- ahh). There being no HDD space free, I had to shrink the large ext3 partition occupying the majority of the disk. I wasn't brave enough to make it up as I went along (I do backup, but a restore/reinstall can take a while).
The instructions at http://howtoforge.com/linux_resizing_ext3_partitions are clear and worked for me. Some familiarity with Linux command-line work is assumed, but each tool and step is reasonably well explained for the beginner. Posted for the occasion when someone else needs to do similar. Roy.
