   I wonder if you can help me.  I am relatively new to Linux and have    
   installed Ubuntu 6.06 and Windows and have Grub as a boot manager.   
      
   When I set it up I decided to put /home on a separate partition.   
   However, I now have the problem that I am very short of space on the /home    
   partition (I have used 99%).   
      
   So, obviously I want to re-size the /home partition to make it bigger.   
      
   However, before I attempt it I have some questions which I hope you can help    
   me with.   
      
   What is the best program to use to re-size (increase the space) of my /home    
   partition?   
      
   When I do re-size the partition to make it bigger, will I loose the files    
   already on the partition?   
      
   Finally, if I un-mount the partition can I re-size it from within Ubuntu or    
   must I do it from a Live CD?   
      
   I hope you can help me.   
      
   I appreciate any help or information given.   
      
   Thanks!
