allocating space

[Warren Togami]

If you have free space adjacent to the end of a partition, you can use
DiskDrake in Mandrake to resize your ext2 partition.  Be warned that this
may be dangerous.  Reiserfs and XFS have built in resizing tools that should
be fairly safe if you are running either of those filesystems.
