I was shocked to realise that my / is running out of space.  My 
current situation is

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hde7             5.9G  5.3G  288M  95% /
/dev/hde5             5.9G  2.7G  3.3G  46% /Data
/dev/hde6             5.7G  452M  5.3G   8% /Graphics
/dev/hde8            1012M  7.7M  953M   1% /boot
/dev/hde10            5.8G   33M  5.5G   1% /holding
/dev/hde9             9.7G  4.5G  5.3G  47% /home
/dev/hdf1             5.3G  3.3G  1.8G  65% /mnt/Mdk9_0
/dev/hdf6             3.9G  2.2G  1.7G  57% /mnt/OldData
/dev/hdf7             6.7G  5.0G  1.7G  75% /mnt/OldHome
/dev/hde1             3.9G  1.8G  2.2G  46% /mnt/windows

hdf is the old drive, and to be ignored.  Only half of hde is 
partitioned and used at present.

/holding is an ext3 partition, empty.
/Data & /Graphics are vfat, and could easily be combined under /Data

Question:  If I do this, then remove /Graphics, can mcc extend a 
partition backwards like this?  Seems to me that would be 
problematic.

/boot is much bigger than needed, but that wouldn't gain very much 
room.

What is the easiest and safest way of making more space here?
