I am trying to expand into sda6.  I want o eventually join sda6 and sda1 to
get the most space.  Of course I can use sda6 now by mounting it and then
storing to it.  Not a huge problem but we should be able to remove those
itty bitty unallocated areas.


Partition     File System   Size         Used        Unused

sda 1            ext 4            84 gig       75          9
sda2             extended     27 gig      -              -
  unallocated                      6.5 mb
  sda6            ext4            17.75 g  457 mb   17.3g
  unallocated                      2.47
  sda5           linux swap    9.32g       0            9.32g

Hope that is not to hard to read.

I'l figure out how to send in plain text.
