I'm not too sure about that, since you would be restoring a system partition, and as Tom said, it also depends on the type of File System you are using (probably the default...Ext3?). Anyway, his words quoted from the orig post: " parted, fips, some commercial ones http://www.google.com/search?q=ext3%20shrink%20partition&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 Returned quite a few hits. As I alluded to before tho, I'd delete existing partitions and re-create 'em. Specially since you can replace from backup." That's an interesting question, tho, could you restore / from a backup? and what would you backup to, when the space used obviously would not fit on yer usual removable media type dealies. -- HaywireMac Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: nodex.sytes.net ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ He who knows, does not speak.
