I think that it depends on which machine you have (which you have not
mentioned).

If you are using a relatively recent PowerPC-based Mac, you can boot it
into target mode (Command-T right after the initial chime) and plug it
into a computer that has a Firewire port and use gparted to resize the
partition.

I've done this in the past and it works quite easily.

You should have, if you have MacOS X installed in the first place.

You are reading the wrong manuals.
