I've been wanting to switch one of my computers to Fedora KDE for a while, but since Kubunu stopped booting earlier, I decided that I might as well switch now. I need to shrink the kubuntu partition size and install the new Fedora partition, Then manually transfer my data over to Fedora. Then, I need to delete my Kubuntu partition, then expand my Fedora partition to take up the whole drive. I've tried shrinking the partition using the Fedora live/install CD, but it tells me that there's not enough free space, which is what i'm trying to create more of. Also, how can I transfer to Fedora the data I have stored as root in Kubuntu? I've not been able to access it from another Linux operating system.

For adjusting partitions, try a GParted Live USB (GParted is available from SourceForge). It's a reliable and flexible tool.
For moving data saved as root, one option is to copy it to a FAT-formatted USB drive. This will discard ownership info.
