OK, after reading this thread, and assuming that the information I was looking for would be in here, it is not... So...

I have installed Knoppix 3.3 on my 41gig HDD, I created a 39gig Linux partition for Linux as a ext3 format, and the remaining 2.0gig was partitioned as a Linux Swap... I know, I learned after getting Knoppix all the way installed and configured, that 2.0gig is WAY TOO much for a swap.

I want to decrease the Linux Swap down to the recommended 500meg, and then increase the MAIN BOOT Linux ext3 partition to take the available free space taken away from the Swap.

I am a little scared at the whole "live" partition changing thing, and, as anyone else would be, a little affraid of the issue of "mucking up" the whole drive and the OS. Knoppix is the ONLY OS on the complete system, so dual-boot issues are not important. My biggest concern is that I need to "shift" partitions, i.e. Swap, which is at the last partition, needs to decrease size at the end of the drive, and then the MAIN partition needs to increase before the Swap the availed 1.5gig free space.

Can this be done with QTParted, and safely, without having to do what I think I have to do, reinstall from scratch again, but this time set the partitions from the begining the "right" way this time.

Confused, and scared,
