: Is there any easy way to reduce the size of a linux partition?

There is a package called fips which can dynamically resize partitions.

I would be careful with this though, if you muck around with partition sizes,
and then you run a DOS speedisk then it can hose your system.

Have a look at the docs for LILO it covers this kind of problem.
