I've never used gparted, but anything that makes partition changes easier is good.

Thanks for the link. I should have added that if Reg is using LVM, then expanding / is definitely easier than moving it. :-) -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ====================================================================== The gods are too fond of a joke. -- Aristotle (384-322 BC)
