i just finished installing the last things keeping windows on my hard drive ( avview and a few others ), so now i want to resize the partitions so that linux has more space than windows. i don't want to completly uninstall windows ( unfortunaltly ) because there are a few programs i need that only run on windows ( wine doesn't like them... ).

so, how do i resize the partitions?

fdisk gives me this for a list:

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/hda: 20.4 GB, 20491075584 bytes
240 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2646 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 = 7741440 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 1625 12284968+ c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda2 1626 2573 7166880 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 2574 2646 551880 82 Linux swap

how do i give the linux ( hda2 ) more space? currently, hda1 has 11 gig, and hda2 has 7 gig, and hda3 has 500 megs.

hda1 = windows 98
hda2 = linux
hda 3 = swap

thanks for any help

You can use GNU parted. See the website for documentation and limitations. Depends on what kind of filesystem you are using for linux.
