resize partitions using parted

["John F Davis" <johndavi@us.ibm.com>]

Hello

Anybody ever try to resize partitions using parted? Did it work ok?

I have a box which was setup with one large root partition and no /boot
partition.  It was
just supposed to be a test install, but it has grown into a working box and
I would
rather "fix" it to use multiple partitions than re-install it at this
point.

Also, I see there is a tool called resize2fs, but I don't think that is
what I want to use
becuase I want to go from 1 partition to multiple partitions.  Furthermore,
I
want to insert a /boot partition into the beginning of the disk.
