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

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.

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.
That would be because ext2online is included in the e2fsprogs package -
you should already have it.
