1GB partition, and resize hda1. The command resize2fs /dev/hda1 should
be sufficient.
Restart into the 5GB parition and now you would have a 5GB root with
over 4GB free space.
Run grub-install /dev/hda so that grub can load itself from the new
location.
You can now copy

You can use 'dd' to clone hda2 to hda1. Boot your system with

Hi all,
I have a problem with an old desktop running etch. Before it was
running XP + etch dual boot. But recently I have deleted the whole XP
partition. Now the problem is I started running out of space for the
etch. I want to resize the partition so that I can install more
programs
You might want to try the gparted live CD
(http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php). Boot from it and resize partitions
on the fly.
Good Luck.

My old Thinkpad can do netbooting. Can your laptop?
Or are you saying that the _only_ way to boot this thing is with its
internal hard drive?

I have Debian 1.2 on hda3 (350M). Is it possible to resize it to 300M?
If this isn't possible, is it possible to cp hda3 to hda2 and run from hda2?
