"safe" Partitioning with Linux


Hi

I was wondering if somebody could recommend a tool to use in linux so that I can resize my / partition (sda6) reasonably safely, without too much risk to losing my data.

Also I'm going to be deleting an old Windows partition (sda3) that I no longer use to make room, anything I should be aware of with Grub or anything?

I don't know if this is relevant, but I'm running RH9.

Thanks,

Jim

You agreed not to multi post your questions, BTW.

Did you read the rules you agreed to?
