Resizing root and /home partitions

[sas_tk]

Using Suse 10.1. Have not enough space on "/" and "/home". Decided to resize. Next partition on the hard after root and /home is fat32. Decided to kill fat partition and use this space for root and home.

- downloaded Knoppix Live cd
- started Knoppix, did partimage to backup / and /home
- deleted partitions
- created new / and new /home partitions using fdisk
- restarted
- did mkreiserfs
- restored data to / and /home using partimage

- modified /etc/fstab to reflect new partitions
- rebooted from HDD
- started Suse.

Questions:
Why df -h still shows old space
I tried to go to software installation to add some packages and still got message that don't have enough space

- when I go to LVM or Partitioner - they show the right space for / and /home

What I did wrong?

Yea i never cared for live cds, but good job at fixing the problem. I had a few problems when i dual booted SLED 10 with windows xp, it wanted to shrink the windows partition way too small and i tried to maunally resize the partitons but after time i got it figured out and it works great. Later
