I'd love to see this included in the mydsl library.

parted is, but it's an old version.

Thanks humpty, I didn't notice it. I just tried it, though, and it sure inspired confidence...NOT!

check /mnt/hda1:

"No Implementation: This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange layout! Parted
can't resize this (yet)."

EDIT: Maybe a more recent version??
EDIT 2: Please forget this idea; best loaded from a bootdisk anyway.
recommended: partedmagic; burn iso to disk and boot; works.

yeah, i did rave about it once;

it's gnome, so would be a bit tricky to package for dsl. not to mention the drivers, etc.
as you said, best run from boot.
