Resize root partition via reinstall


Hey,
When I installed FC3, I didn't give myself enough room for the root partition and after updating and adding on my preferred apps, I was left with very little space and have to remove stuff before I want to put anything on.

I need to resize the partition, but to my knowledge, there are not partitioning applications out there that will resize a Fedora partition. What I've concluded is that I need to reinstall with a bigger root partition, but I have having to go through the process of adding and updating applications and setting preferences again.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? (Note that Partition Magic and Parted don't support a Fedora partition; surely I can use the Fedora install partitioner without having to erase everything, right?)

Thanks.
