You are talking about fips
And since I know you use netscape for mail...

ftp://ftp.dstc.edu.au/pub/Linux/system/Install/fips15.zip

Once you have speedisked all of your data to the front end of the disk, you can then change your partition table quite simply using the above utility.

Another option is Partition Magic, but I have never used it.  Apparently it works for OS2 etc.

I am quite hurt that you didn't feel you could post your question to the humbug mailing list.
