The safest way is to back up the affected partitions, use fdisk to change
the partition table, then restore from backup.
Another way is to use 'parted'.  You can find information on it at

Hi all. When I first repartition my drive to install Deb I made the /boot 
partition too small. This was because I hadn't needed to install extra 
kernels before. Is there some way to make it bigger without destroying any 
of the data. I have partitionmagic for windows but I don't have windows. 
Any help would be good.
