That partition is the /boot partition, and its 526MB.  How feasible
would it be to backup /boot, reboot the install DVD in rescue mode,

then restore the backed up partition?  What would be the best program to
use for the repartitioning?  Some time ago I did some repartitioning
using sfdisk, and it wasn't very pleasant, although I can probably work
out what I need to use that.

That's doing things the hard way. Boot from a gparted LiveCD, shrink the next partition slightly and move /boot enough to leave at least 1MB free at the beginning. HTH, HAND.
