You know this really is a pain that you can only have 4 primary partitions! If I could make more primary partitions, I could just resize sda2 to make room for sda5 and sda6!

I think I'm going to play it safe and not resize anything. I'll just use the 38GB sda3 for KANOTIX. I was going to use KANOTIX to get gparted to resize sda2 which has ntfs, but now I'll just use it to have a good hdd install without a broken apt-get system. I'd like to try the KNOPPIX DVD eventually anyway....

KANOTIX doesn't have a DVD version, does it?

TIA,
