The really important thing i need to do is get around mounting the main

experience with it really.  OR, if i can use GRUB to boot into a folder
on the other computer so i can reinstall.  though i would rather resize

It sounds like simply booting the installer image is all you need (so
you can get into rescue mode and do the resize2fs). You can do that
using grub on the same machine:

Incidentally, have you tried ext2online? It might save you a lot of
trouble if you're not making a really big size change.

Paul.

i tried to YUM it and i recieved a lot of conflicts with ext2online with the already installed e2fsprogs. i naturally tried to uninstall e2fsprogs and recieved a flood of programs that would be uninstalled so i quit the attempt. hehe ... i will look into your recommendations though!

thank-you
Have a Nice Day!
