A resizing problem

[dheem]

Greetings
I run suse 10.2 window xp professional dual boot 80G disk.
The root partition of 10.2 (5 G) is 99 percent full without
any fancy applications.
The disk allocation (increasing cylinder number) is as follows.

dev/sda1 19.5G Fat32 /window C 46% used
dev/sda2 54.9 Extended :
/sda5 6.5 Fat32 / E 1%
/sda8 886 M swap
/sda9 5.0G linux (ext3) / 99%
/sda10 7.1 ext3 /home 3%
/sda6 19.5 Fat32 /F 2%
/Sda7 15.9 Fat32 /G

The above has been compiled from df -h table and
that put out by YaST partitioner.

The proposal is to increase /Sda9 by at least 1 G at the
expense of /sda5 or /sda10 or even /sda6
: whichever is safer.I avoid large down loads.

Could yu please suggest how to go about ?

Thanking you.

Thanks
i have dowloaded parted magic 1.8.iso.

Apparently it has been updated with kernel 2.6.22,
I hope it does not complain that the kernel of suse 10.2 is 2.6.18.8.

Secondly pl comment on the following planned actions.

1. Resize sda5 or should it be sda2.
2. move sda8 to the space created .
3. Resize sda9: hope the partiton boundary can be moved to
lower cylinders.

cheers
