Repartition swap?

Hi,

Is there a way to repartition the swap space?  I think I don't need that 
much swap, and want to squeeze out some extra partition for filesystem.   
The whole filesystem is on an extended partition (the primary partition 
is a DOS system) and I did not create logical drives of it, so the whole 
HD looks like hda1, hda2 (hda5=filesystem & hda6=swap).  I don't know if 
I can do it from DOS, since fdisk will not tell hda5 from hda6).  I 
don't know if I can do it from Linux, since after I delete hda6, and 
recreate a partition, I cannot seem to create two partitions on the same 
space.  Anyway, am I out of luck?


Best wishes,
Chip
