After using the script (and rebooting), Disk Utility shows (in the Partition tab) a new 104,89GB "free space" area... but I can't do anything with it. :-/ (perhaps because that's the boot drive) > But you may be able to create a partition in the remainder of the space > when you boot into Leopard¹s installation application and try the Disk Utility > from there you'll have to use the OF hack for this to work. Booting from Tiger install disk, yes, Disk Utility lets me select the "free space" and the "Partition" button is enabled. Brilliant! :-D But... now I'm afraid that partitioning the "new" disk area could alter the existing partitions (I like them, I already have 5 partitions on my boot disk :-). I know it shouldn't happen...
