Hi all

When installing Debina a few months ago I made a mistake in creating the swap.
I intended to create a 2GB swap but I seem to have zilch. 

   Device Boot Start     End   #cyls    #blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1          0+      5       6-     48163+  de  Dell Utility
/dev/sda2   *      6    2555    2550   20482875    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3       2556    2556       1       8032+  82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda4       2557   14592   12036   96679170   83  Linux

I need to increase sda3 at the expense of sda4. I can backup to another machine
and use parted to resize but then grub will I presume not be able to boot as it
will be pointing at an incorrect place on the hard disk for the kernel to boot.
I have been googling for things like "repartition replace running kernel" as I
remember something like mounting the new disk, swap to the old kernel, run grub
to reinstall. There was I think some trick to doing this. Does anyone have a
link I can follow or help?
