Re: increase size of a filesytem

[Kevin Wood <kwood globespan net>]

Depending on the size of your current drive, you might also be able to
purchase a copy of partition magic and just resize it.  Works awsome.  I
have used it many a time and it works.  This is only an option if you have
space elsewhere on the drive that won't be of use, say, the /home
partition.

Hope this helps
