The problem here is that the standard filesystem resizing tools assume that the end of the partition has changed. not the start. If there's enough space, I'd suggest creating a new sda2, copying the contents of sda4 to it (preferably with rsync) and setting the bootloader and fstab to use sda2 instead of sda4. Then he can delete sda3/4, create a new swap partition at the end of the drive and resize sda2 to whatever size he wants. Alternatively, just put /home onto sda2, it all depends on the size the the partitions and their contents. -- Neil Bothwick Too many clicks spoil the browse.
