Change the root partition

[Molnar Peter <mp428 hszk bme hu>]

Hello!
I want to create another partition, but that would cause hda5 -> hda6
and so on. I've been looking on the web, but didnt find any information
that helped me on how to change the boot partition.

What I want is to create another partition (new hda5), while having the
old system work (hda5 -> hda6). (I have tried to move the old ext3
partition to the beginning of the extended partition, but all software
failed, I was unable to do it).

Partitions:

Using /dev/hda
Information: The operating system thinks the geometry on /dev/hda is
10011/255/63.  Therefore, cylinder 1024 ends at 8032.499M.
(parted) print
Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0.000-78533.437 megabytes
Disk label type: msdos
Minor    Start       End     Type      Filesystem  Flags
1          0.031  64997.358  primary   FAT         boot, lba
2      64997.358  78528.669  extended              lba
5      70002.013  78136.457  logical   ext3        
6      78136.488  78528.669  logical   linux-swap  
(parted) quit

Thanks a lot.
