parted does it for Free
Authored by: zojas on Nov 30, '04 09:29:04AM
for the hard-core geek, willing to sacrifice point and click convenience for GPL Freedom (not to mention saving $35), "parted" can handle hfs and ufs now.

the gentoo linux ppc live cd comes with parted. so you can download a gentoo ppc live cd iso, burn it to cd, boot from the cd, and use parted to resize your partitions non-destructively.

you did back up your data first though, just in case, right?

Does QTParted work on PPC? It should, it's just a GUI frontend to parted.

Do you happen to know if "parted" is the tool that drives these two new partitioning tools! It's pretty exciting to finally have this tool available on the Mac!
