Could someone help me resize my / partition


I need to make it bigger, I already resized the /home partition to make the room for it, however I was told I'd need to resize / from command line from the boot CD, so could someone please walk me through it?

Didn't it work MCC\Mountpoints?

It should......if you should get another way of the partitioning program.

Well to be honest, it seems to me that you could insert your mdk cd into the drive and run the setup until the partitioning app. Then you take 'next' so you're asked whether to save your changes. Click changes.

Warning I have never actually tried it, so I do NOT want to be responsible. Neither I can guarantee the solution works nor that your data will survive.
