Hi all,

I have a problem with an old desktop running etch. Before it was running XP + etch dual boot. But recently I have deleted the whole XP  partition. Now the problem is I started running out of space for the etch. I want to resize the partition so that I can install more programs and stuff like that. The current partition is like

hda1 - 5G (before running XP)
hda2 - 1G ( etch is living here)

So I'd like to resize hda2 but I can't as it said I need to unmount hda2 before resizing. People suggest using a live CD but it's not possible with my old laptop (I didn't even install etch using CD, I can only install etch via goodbyemicrosoft.com). USB boot is also not available.

Any suggestion would be welcome. What I want to do is to be able to apt-get upgrade stuff as right now I have only <5Mb of space in hda2.

Thanks a lot!

Manu
