Nikhil was saying something abt a GNU[something] utility like partition
magic which could do the job. I think (don't remember) that I set my
/dev/hda5 to "growable". If that's so, maybe I just nuke the 1 gig
partition and this expands.
ps - Am shit scared of losing data - and I've got some rather imp data on
both the winduh and the linux partitions.
