Which is why he should do the print in parted. He may be able to get
assistance with the resizing on this list.
The info docs have very good examples on what to do if you have
hard-drive space but it's scattered around the drive.
Incidently, I've found that some older versions of parted don't work
with ext3... to get around this resize as ext2 and then rune tune2fs -j
/dev/hd[a-z]
One more thing... be careful with /var... I managed to delete my rpm
database. I know of a way of getting it back and I'm in the procedes of
writing a perl script, but this is a pain in the neck :)
(or you could see this as an interesting process in seeing just well you
you've made a mistake in with Linux... I'd like to see someone restore
the Windows registry if they corrupt it! A friend once told me that to
become proficient with Linux - Guru status - you really need to make
sure you never reinstall it. Just fix your mistakes and move on!)

I'm suprised no-one has suggested using parted. The best way I've
found for using parted is run linux in single user mode, unmount
the /var filesystem and from the command-line run parted.
GNU Parted is a very nice tool but I don't remember it's possible to
decrease partition size. With the information coming from Billy (df -h)
it's not possible to tell wether he's still free space on his drive(s)
or not.
