If you have physical access to the machine pull the hard drive an load it 
into a standard PC. From there you can use Power quests Partition Magic to 
resize the partitions.

You'll need to start PQmagig with it's /ipe switch to avoid problems with 
the boot partition.

This can also be done with Norton Ghost but in my experience Ghost is more 
prone to damage files on Linux systems.

Otherwise there were instructions recently on resizing partitions the hard 
way through a remote shell. Check the archives.
