Here is the printout from my Linux box, which I'm trying to re-
partition without re-installing. To review, Linux is only using half 
the harddrive. I want to be able to expand linux into the rest of 
the drive without messing anything up. 
Thanks!
Nick

To get an idea of what the partitions are try running -- as root --
"fdisk -l /dev/hda" (assuming your drive is hda, which it probably 
is).

Then to see how the partitions are being used try
"cat /etc/fstab".

Why don't you post the results of those two commands so we know what 
you're looking at. Depending on how things are laid out it may be 
fairly simple to use "parted" to expand your current partition(s) 
into the unused space.
