Partition magic is my friend. :)
{remove drive from Linux box. Attach to *doze box. Activate PM. Resize
Partitions. Put drive back into Linux box. Viola}

Why? I almost never run X.

No thanks.

For reasons previously stated, I'm sticking with kernel source modules
produced by SuSE {distribution type} because they have all the little
extra tweaks upon which my SuSE install depends already in them - which
means I don't have to spend half a week patching other versions.
This limits me to either 2.4.7 or 2.4.10
