I used the Partman partition manager that is part of the Ubuntu Installation Live CD. Partman is outstanding (better than Gparted). Why it is only available as part of the install Live CD is beyond me.

No changes occur to my existing system (except the partitioning, of course.) --- Damon Andrew Keller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > First off, I would like to say thank you for the > fast responce on this matter. > Sorry that I can't quote all of you, but yo know who > you are. :) > > Okay, before I start reading links I need this > question answered: > > Am I able to take one of my drives, convert the > unused space to ext3/lvm and > start to copy files directly to it?
