[NTLUG:Discuss] D.A.question about repartitioning on the fly

[Fred]

Suse (and others) like to create 2 partitions during install: / and
/home. No /usr, no /etc. Some time ago (year or two) I installed Suse
9.1 on my daughter's puter and happened to notice recently that / is
at 94% AND they want OpenOffice which, at 120MB or so installed,
ain't happening until the disk gets repartitioned. /home has about 2
1/2 gigs of space.

I seem to remember she has reiser fs instead of ext3. I get confusing
info when looking on the web on how to do it; most say dynamic
repartitioning is out, that I need to make a complete backup (always
good advice) then flush and start over. Others say it can be done but
don't give me a warm & fuzzy with their "instructions".

Does anyone have experience, or success with, this process?

Thanks,
Fred
