[expert] Extending / partition

[WH Bouterse]

Okay I have seen a zillion ways to do this over
the last couple of years and read hundreds of lines
of mans, howto's, and email's, HOWEVER;

I will ask this list for pointers again !

My / 3 gig partition is full. I have created another 
ext2 fs of 2 gigs on the same HD. How do I merge it into
The present / so that after reboot (I guess that would be 
necessary?) The new / partition would contain 5 gigs?

I may go ahead and repartition into smaller units but 
thought I would try this method first in the interim.

Thanks
