I have the following partitions:
Very approximate :
NTFS 20 Gib with Win XP (about 6 Gb used)
20 Gb Reiser FS For Kubuntu Dapper
10 Gb Fat 32 partition for shared access
1Gb swap
4 Gb Dell Recovery partition - Propose to leave alone in the event of scorched earth
As I very rarely use XP I would like to shrink the NTFS partition and make it available to Kubuntu. Is this do-able from within a working installation or will I need to reinstall. Also, given that I have Igb of Ram (albeit some of it shared for video - Dell Inspiron 630m laptop with Intel 915 Graphics Card) Can I /should I reclaim some of the swap file as well?
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks
Ian
