and reboot with a Ubuntu live cd, and when its loaded as trial then go to<BR>
a terminal window and type sudo swapoff -a<BR>to turn off, then what??????????<BR>

It might be possible with qtparted as well, <BR>> but I prefer gparted. However I would suggest you make backups anyway <BR>> before you change the partitioning of a disk. You can't use the running <BR>> system to do what you want, so you should use e.g. the Ubuntu LiveCD <BR>> which has gparted included. After you have started the LiveCD turn off <BR>> swap with the command<BR>> <BR>> sudo swapoff -a<BR>> <BR>> in a terminal because your swap area is used by the LiveCD automatically. <BR>> And be prepared to wait a long time until the resizing is finished.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Nils<BR>> <BR>> -- <BR>> kubuntu-users mailing list<BR>> kubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com<BR>> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users<BR><BR><br /><hr />Find great deals on eBay <a href='http://a.ninemsn.com.au/b.aspx?URL=http%3A%2F%2Frover%2Eebay%2Ecom%2Frover%2F1%2F705%2D10129%2D5668%2D323%2F4%3Fid%3D10&_t=763807330&_r=hotmailTAGLINES&_m=EXT' target='_new'>Net yourself a bargain</a></body>
