Re: [Clonezilla-live] Custom partition with clonezilla

[Bill G. <gu...@io...>]

Shameem:

You should be able to use a different live CD to do the re-sizing of the 
partitions.  I suggest using the gparted live CD:

http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php

It boots to a graphical user interface, and is a very user-friendly way 
to do this.
