I've never used Partition Magic, but if it can resize ext2 filesystems,
then it will do the trick. I used parted because I already had it, and
it did what I needed it to do.

I don't think that the re-partitioning affected lilo, which makes sense,
since the boot partition isn't being moved, it's just being shrunk. If
it does affect lilo, then add a step after the parted and before
rebooting:
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
chroot /mnt lilo -v
I honestly can't recall if I had to do that or not.
