That would work if /boot follows the LVM partition, but not if it is 
before.  But without parted / gparted support, one must still know to 
have free space on the LVM (not allocated to any LV), use pvresize, and 
then shrink the basic partition.  And this is the easy case, where the 
partition doesn't need to be moved.
