I did not look at GPartEd.

I used DiskUtility before, and a repartitioned it now with DU.
Most of what was on there was backups, and I don't think I needed
anything from the old time machines.

But initial backups of big disks over wireless are slow. Is there any
way on 10.5.8 to hook a drive up locally, and use the network format
of backup?
