Partition resizing

["J. Lucha" <jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Has anyone attempted resizing a partition, or know enough about parted 
to do so?

Ultimately what I would like to do is check the partition table, and if 
there is only one partition, and it's a fat partition taking up the 
whole drive, then resize it so the drive has unallocated free space.

The reason for this is to use it for a Linux installfest for those that 
want to try it out without losing their Windows.  And while we could 
just as easily just have a station with people running parted from a 
boot floppy, I'd much prefer to modify the installer to do this, so that 
we could hand people CD's to take home if they didn't bring a computer, 
or want to put it on another machine at home.

Looking at he parted website and documentation, it seems to have hooks 
for being able to do all the checks.
