Yo; I'm fairly new to Fedora (And Linux in general, I've been switching 
amongst Mandrake/SuSE/Debain & Redhat for a few years trying to find 
which distro I like best), and am running Fedora 2 on a comp with a 
somewhat faulty 13 GB HD.  It was having some wierd problem where the 
disk stalls whenever it wants and starts back up whenever it wants... 
don't ask... and (*Somehow*) adding 128MB of memory all but fixed all 
the quarks and bugs with this moody HD.  Previously I could only get 
part of the disk to work right, so I have a little 3.5GB partition for 
the Fedora root...
</rant>
        ANYway, what can I do to easily resize the root partition to use 
the remaining HD space that I have? Fedora Core 2 is the only OS on my 
system (my documents are on another partition) Should I just run the 
installer off the CD in *upgrade* mode (fc2 to fc2 that is) and resize 
with disk druid? (I assume disk druid lets you resize... I've only ever 
resized with Mandrake's utilities)

    Thanx,
        SigmaChi
