Hi,

I'm trying to resize my /home-partition (and my '/'-Partition) with a boot-cd (Kubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04) like i did it before with a Knoppix CD.
Unfortunately the Kubuntu CD hasn't any GUI-Tool for resizing my partitions and Knoppix isn't able to handle the 'ext4'-Filesystem ;-(

I don't like to do it counting the sectors... with Parted: So what stable and comfortable Parted-GUI should i use on a boot-medium?

Any help is appreciated

I use parted magic http://partedmagic.com/doku.php?id=programs, it's reasonably small (180mb) and uses gparted as the gui front end

Thanks !!!

That was what i'm looking for: this collection will become a permanent member of my toolbox :)
But it would be useful if there is such an easy to use partitioning-tool at the standard lucid lynx distro like Kubuntu.
My job is done for now; booting with the burned iso-Image and growing the extended partition with the /home-Partition after shrinking the (primary) root-Partition worked without any problems.
GParted is that kind of reliable that i even didn't need the previously taken backup.
Thanks again for the tip
