Is there a NHF for resizing partitions? I just installed Linux-Mandrake and it looks like I allocated too much space for /home and not emaough for /usr. Anyway to resize these partitions without starting over?

it would be faster to just reinstall... trust me...

The program Partition Magic would do the trick but, since you just installed and, if you don't have P.M. on hand, just reinstall. Faster than running to the store, buying P.M. and then coming home, learning how to use it, using it, possibly fscking something up and then having to reinstall anyway. I would just reinstall.
There is also a program called gnu-parted, or just parted. I haven't used it, though.
