I have a 8 GB harddrive with windows 98  using about 6.0 GB 
(hda1 and 2), and Red Hat 
Linux 6.0 using about 2.0GB,  ( hda5 and 6).   I would like 
to increase the size of my Linux 
partition,  but because I have spent several  months 
customizing my operating system,  I 
would like to do this  without destroying my exsisting Linux 
installation.  I have 2 GB of 
unused space on the windows partitions.  I can resize one of 
my windows partitions, and 
produce un-allocated free space with no problems.  The 
question is,  how can I convert, 
and add this free space to my existing Linux installation?
