Repartitioning Hard Drive

[Denis Melnikov]

Bruce,

Of course you can reinstall to re-partition your disk, it's
the easiest way for an empty install.
If you're unsure whether re-partitioning would meet your future
needs, you should look at LVM (logical volume management).
It allows to resize existing filesystems.
To install *ubuntu on LVM one have to use alternate CD.
