Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1         510     4096543+  83  Linux

This computer has one of those SSD drives in EEEpc
The harddrive has been partitioned with a  / and /home ext3 by FC9 and 
operating system is installed.
I split the 8gb SSD harddrive in half, equal to two partitons and now I 
find  /  needs more space than  /home.
I took 1gb away with Gparted from /home and it is now "unallocated" I 
want give that 1gb  , to   /
