- thank you for your advise. - this is what I did...
Using VMware Converter, I "converted" the vmware image to a new, bigger one. Then I booted the new image from a Live-CD with Gparted using which I was perfectly able to modify/resize the partition(s) in question.
"VMware Converter"? which tool is that one?

Good evening; - vmware converter is a programme that will convert a) your local running machine b) a remote running machine c) a remote cold machine into a vmware image which is saved into a running ESX server. Link: http://www.vmware.com/products/converter/ So I fired up (from a windows client) a vmware converter, pointed to the source image (the SuSE with the small root partition) and elected to save the image onto (the same) ESX server, but this time giving it more room. This in itself will not resize the partion(s), but will leave room for it to be done later. I then booted the second (target) machine from a live Gparted CD - and fixed the problem. Afterwords the target (the large one) booted fine,-but now has a much bigger root partition.
