This computer has one of those SSD drives in EEEpc
The harddrive has been partitioned with a / and /home ext3 by FC9
and operating system is installed.
I split the 8gb SSD harddrive in half, equal to two partitons and
now I find / needs more space than /home.
I took 1gb away with Gparted from /home and it is now "unallocated"
I want give that 1gb , to /
You will need to move the /home partition to the end of the disk
before you can add the space to the / partition. The problem is that
the free space is now at the end of the disk, so you can not add it
to the first partition. (It could be done if you were using LVM for /.)

So I would have to reinstall and set my partitions to the sizes I
want, That's a shame I had a good clean install and
now I have to hope I get as lucky on a new install.
Well as the Marines say, "War is Hell, but Peace Time is a SOB"
Well, it depends on how full /home is. If you can shrink home to 2gb
or less, and move it into the free space you create, you can then grow
/ to the size you want, move /home back, and expand it again. Or you
can backup /home, remove it, grow /, recreate /home to its new size,
and restore it.
But if you are going to try this while booting from the drive, I would
back up anything important and be ready to re-install. You can boot in
run level 1, and unmount /home, but it is still risky changing the
size of mounted partitions.

/home has nothing in it , other than the empty folders made by the install.
I was using Gparted from a boot CD.
The 1 gb I want to grow into / is labeled "unallocated" space.
How do I use the "grow feature" in Gparted to grow / by one more 1gb
