Greetings,
My laptop has seen a variety of installs over the past year, and I now
have a fair amount of delegated but unused disk space. Is there a
recommended procedure or program that can re-acquire that space for my
Karmic installation ? I've never repartitioned a disk *after* an
installation, so I'm a bit nervous about the process. Advice is needed
and welcome.
I'm quite sure you heard of it, gparted livecd comes
into mind.
To cite the FAQ regarding safety: 'Short answer: Yes, it
is safe :)'.
Well, keep the usual caution and do backup everything.
I never had issues, just used it a few times. Once for
exactly that task - deleting partitions and resizing/
moving existing ones to cover the free space while
keeping all their data.
Usage is graphical and just simple.
best,
