About resizing /var (or any other real partition -- am assuming you actually created a partition for /var during installation)
You could work with gParted like Simon suggested BUT I would recommend doing an LVM setup during Linux installation (in future). This enables you to resize any partition @will. But the real magic lies in the ability to add new hard disks & resizing the existing partitions on HDD1 to span to HDD2 on the fly. Think of it as having 40GB of /var on HDD1 & 120 GB of /var on HDD2 with the OS reading it as one partition of 160GB. The LVM setup makes your life easy if at the time of OS installation, you aren't sure which partition should have the bulk of your HDD space. -- - Phillip. “Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer are in the rghit pclae.
