I already have Red Hat 6.2 and Win 98 installed. I want to
install SuSE 6.4. I will need to reduce the size of my main
ext2 partition which is currently used for Red Hat 6.2. I know
I can grow/shrink fat partitions but is this also possible with
ext2 partitions? If so how can you tell me how. I can not
really play with the fat partition as it is on a DMA66 drive
which my Liux install doesn't recognise and I can't afford to
run dev kernels or patches due to what the machine is used
for. Your help would be appreciated or a pointer to relevant
help/HOWTO. I am not a complete newbie but am no expert either.

Thanks in advance.
