Hope you guys out there can help me with this one: My SuSE 10 installation by default chose a partition size of 2.5 GB, but now it appears that I really needed a partition size of approx 6.0 GB, as at the moment it shows only 11 % free (269.2 MB). Since I have bags of disk space available I would like to resize my linux partition to 6.0 GB. I have a bootable CD (made an el-torito iso image as per the Reference Manual) that boots the system, but even then I am not sure whether I can safely resize and reboot subsequently. I could make a backup image of the entire linux partition with BootItNG but that probably is not the answer. Incidentally am I right in concluding that a Gnome desktop uses much less space than a KDE desktop ? I also installed SuSE 10 on a much older PC than this one (an old 266 Mhz processor and less than 128 MB memory) and to my surprize it detected hardware quite well - even correctly detected my ADSL right away, and the Gnome desktop on that one seems to have used much less disk space ?
