re re-partition Kubuntu 3-partitions on 40gb

[Ray Burke]

Nils I am in 'K',

The paragon drive copy 8 worked in my xp pro to clone over the old 'k'
to a spare 40gb then I used the live cd Ubuntu with the new clonned copy
and this time the re-partition worked it took about 35mins to do the enlarge
7gb to 18gb and reduce the 28gb to 19gb below  is a copy of $ df -h

rayburke at rayburke-desktop:~$ df -h
Filesystem            Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1              18G  7.4G  9.2G  45% /

rayburke at rayburke-desktop:~$
