How does it compare to Slacko? I ask because I am not so familiar with Slackware (though I don't know if it matters much for this job of resizing a partition); but I do know Parted Magic, and have used it before now several times. https://partedmagic.com/ It also supports various file systems: ext2, ext3, ext4, fat16, fat32, ntfs, and reiserfs and has other useful features.
